The Day of Curling, held on November 3rd, was well attended and by all accounts a resounding success! Forty-five members and 49 visitors came to the Chester Curling Club on a rainy afternoon to try curling for the first time, applaud our latest inductees to the Life Member status (Walter Webber and Paul Flinn) and witness the unveiling of the banner for Team Weagle's win of the U18 Boys Canadian Championship.
A big thank-you goes out to everyone who gave their time and energy to the event...Dan Sutherland for pulling it all together, Carla Stevens, Brenda Sinclair, Anne Sutherland and Joanne Hare for food prep, Jeff Lamb and John Sheppard as MC's, Morven McLaughlin and Danette Gray on the treasurer/membership desk, Holly Keillor and Elizabeth Baker for registration/snack set-up, our ice maintenance crew Terry Atherton, Ken Johnston and Darrin Hatt, our bartenders Dean Durnford, Kim Croft and David Campbell and the members who helped instruct new curlers- Jim Mason, Tammy Rent, Renata Graham, Owen Purcell and the Weagle boys-Scott, Graeme and Craig.
Without the hard work and committment given by so many volunteers, events like this would not be possible!
