Monday Afternoon 12:30pm - Mixed Tag
Monday and Wednesday mixed TAG leagues, convened by Ken Schamehorn and Sandy Furzecott; Friday mixed TAG league, convened by Bill and Bonnie Baker.
- There are no “fixed” teams, so if you cannot participate for any reason, you don’t have to worry about arranging for a spare.
- With the teams arranged randomly, you can be playing with different people each week.
- While everyone wants to play their best game possible, this is a relaxed, non-competitive league, where anyone can enjoy the great game of curling at their own level, without pressure.
Intermediate level curlers can occasionally be “promoted” to positions a little beyond their comfort level, which is also part of the learning process.
For senior curlers, it is a way to simply relax and enjoy the game without pressure.

DESCRIPTION
THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT LADIES IS VERY WELCOMING GROUP. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR LEVEL OF EXPERTISE WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US. THOSE WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE WILL FIND THAT EVERYONE IS VERY HELPFUL.
WE CURL ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS AT 6:30PM.
The League commences the curling season, by having a social at the club approximately one week prior to the first week of curling so that we can gather, get to know new members and draw teams. Any curlers not able to attend the social will be contacted by their team's skip so that they know who they will be curling with.
We have specific teams for the Fall Draw and we will draw new teams for the Winter Draw.
Since we have set teams, if a player can't make a game they can contact replacement (spare) curlers from a spare list that will be provided.
The top two teams from the Fall and Winter Draw will play off during the Day of Champions which has been a long standing tradition. It is held on the last Saturday of the Curling Season.
BONSPIELS
Our League has one organized bonspiel sometime in the new year. This is a fun "themed" event. More information will be provided during the season.
Our league finishes up the curling season with a Closing Banquet a week or so after the curling season ends. Dinner is followed by prize presentations sponsored by Town's Jewellers.
Summer Socials
Though the curling season ends every year, the Business Ladies continue to forge their relationships in the off season. About once a month a Summer Social event is hosted at someone’s home where games, swimming or other activities are enjoyed.
