Curling Cancelled Wednesday Night
Good Afternoon Curlers,
In the spirit of safety and the inclement weather we are experiencing this Wednesday we will cancel curling for the Wednesday night social league and Learn to curl.
I will get back to everyone later tonight about Thursday curling, as of now it does not look good.
Wednesday January 17 Curling Cancelled !!!
Curling cancelled for Wednesday January 17 for the 8:30am and 1pm draws. Due to heavy snow and wind we are cancelling curling this morning and afternoon. We will keep you posted for the late afternoon curling.
Message from the President
September 2022
Well, fellow curlers, summer was a long time coming and is now officially coming to an end September 22nd.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to welcome you back to the 2022-2023 curling season, one that plans to be a “return to normal – as much as possible.” COVID 19 is still hanging around, which seems to be part of the new normal. I suspect that a very large majority of our curlers have been fully vaccinated and boosted, and that an ongoing barrier to COVID and its variants will involve continued booster shots, perhaps annually with the flu shot.
The plans for this season are exciting! First of all, the board and league representatives have been contacting those that curled last year as well as curlers that chose not to curl over the last two or three years, inviting everyone to return this year. In addition to our regular leagues, we will have some new leagues: 2-person stick leagues on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons (if there are enough registrants), an open fun league on Friday afternoon, and an open/family league on Sunday evening. There are Try Curling weekends planned as well as 5-week Learn to Curl sessions and novice/open leagues on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Our Membership Committee has already been contacting some local schools to organize a Rocks and Rings program. In addition they have contacted the Abbotsford Teachers Association to offer hosting a Pro-D event in October and, perhaps, again later in the year.
In addition to a return of all regular bonspiels, our club is hosting Academy of Curling Clinics and Banquet with instructors Russ Howard, Mary-Anne Arsenault and Grant Odishaw on September 16th to 18th. On October 14th to 16th, we are hosting the Abbotsford Curling Classic Cashspiel with teams registered including Korea, Japan, China and India. Curl BC Club Championships will be hosted by our club March 28th to April 2nd.
Online registration is now open for all leagues. Registration at the club, as well as practice ice, will take place during the week of September 19th to 23rd. League play begins September 26th. Invite friends, family, co-workers, etc. to participate. All ages and skill levels are welcome!
Looking forward to seeing you on the ice!
David Primrose,
President
