It’s hard to believe, but the season is quickly approaching it’s end.

While that makes me sad, it does mean it’s almost time for my favourite event of the season – the annual Red & Yellow Closing Bonspiel!

Registration is now open for the event which will run on Friday, March 27th and Saturday, March 28th.

If you are a new member (or have never participated) you will be assigned to a colour based on the need to balance the draw – once you are assigned a colour (with rare exceptions) you remain on that team every year!

In addition to a great weekend of curling, fun, and lots of laughter and playful ribbing – we also enjoy a nice banquet to wrap up the event and the season. Once again this year we’ll be having Sizzler’s BBQ.  

NOTE:  Due to the Civic Centre schedule we’ll be having the banquet following the final draw this year – beginning at 7:30pm.

The Little Rockers, Novice, and Juniors will be doing their own events in the next couple of weeks and the stick curlers will have their annual Red & Yellow event on Thursday, March 26th during the day.

For the weekend event, you’ll play one game on Friday, one game Saturday morning, and one game Saturday afternoon, with a banquet Saturday evening. 

For those curlers who do daytime, we’ll have a daytime draw on Friday at 1:00pm.

For evening curlers you’ll play either the 6:30pm or 8:15pm draw on Friday.

Everyone will then play a Saturday morning draw at either 8:30am, 10:15am, or 12:00pm – then play an afternoon draw at either 2:30pm, 4:15pm, or 6:00pm.

The games are 6-ends and use a skins scoring format with values increasing each end and each draw – which typically leads to the winner of the event coming down to the last draw, sometimes even the last few shots!

Last year Yellow reclaimed their rightful place as champions but Red will be gunning to knock us off the throne again this year – be sure to sign up today!
