Hi everyone,

I hope the start of your curling season has gone well and you have met some new people!
I normally do not send out a mid month letter but some things are time sensitive and could not wait until the end of the month.

Annual General Meeting
Coming up on Saturday November 4th we will be hosting virtually our Annual General Meeting. Board reports, financial statements and a ZOOM link will be sent out to you shortly.

Newbie Bonspiel is Back!
On Saturday, November 11th we will be hosting our annual Newbie Bonspiel which has been, and continues to be generously sponsored by Wes and Bev Brennan of Brennan Construction. Thanks Bev and Wes!

This popular Bonspiel is for our newer curlers. It will give them a fun, first look at a Bonspiel. We are also looking for "mentors" to sign up to help guide the newbies. Space is limited to 24 Newbies, and 24 Mentors so sign up as soon as possible! The event will start with coffee, tea and sweets, 6 ends of curling, a light lunch, followed by another 6 ends and wrap up about 4:00 pm with some camaraderie and cash prizes!
