This coming Saturday’s Mixed Doubles competition has attracted a full roster of 16 teams!
We now have new brush holding racks in the lounge area, so you can park your brush while you wait to go on the ice. This is a daytime curlers initiative, with Paul Durant doing the construction.
The burners on the propane space heaters for the ice house have rusted and are being replaced.
Friday’s Drop-In night attracted 24 curlers, including quite a few non-members. Next one is Jan. 9, and will include a pot luck.
We are planning to hold several evenings to introduce PEI Newcomers to the sport of curling, tentatively on Sunday evenings at 6. Thanks to a grant, they will be free. We will need members to help out. We will be coordinating this with the PEI Newcomers Association. Most likely will occur after the holidays.
We are planning to have our rocks reconditioned over the summer. They have never been serviced, and are over thirty years old. This will cost the Club around $15,000. A grant is expected to cover half of it, and we will finance the rest over several years. Donations will be accepted, and fundraising is another possibility.
We are going to send out a post and print a brochure on curling etiquette, so that all curlers know their responsibilities, and the do’s and don’ts of the sport.
Current membership as of Oct. 31: 248, up from 231 same time last year.
Cornwall Board of Directors members again participating in Curl for Cancer, Nov. 22 in the “media draw” at 3 pm at Charlottetown.
Daytime Curlers Xmas party is scheduled for Dec. 16.
Fresh Media and Curl PEI coming out with a promotional package (website, etc.) to introduce new people to the sport. Looking at having some kind of league on Thursday evenings at 8 to introduce new curlers to the sport, if the promo is successful.
Members are reminded of the “Christmas Cheer” raffle, as well as the 50X50 draw, at the bar.
