April 25, 2013
Here is the latest news that you should know:
- more than 40 persons attended the curling club Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, April 23. Most of the discussions centered on the state of the curling facilities, including the ice condition, the installation of the dehumidifier, the dressing rooms etc. In addition, a lot of good ideas were exchanged on the topic of membership, the possibility of adding new curling leagues on Saturdays or Sundays and a new category of members for social curling only. The meeting finished at about 9:15 pm with a discussion about the club’s financial situation, the need to ensure sufficient revenues to pay for the required improvements as well as the need to attract some sponsors. All of the input gained during this meeting will be used by the club’s executive committee to develop a five year action plan, which will be presented to the members. Everyone was reminded that if they have any ideas or if they would like to help out by getting involved with the executive committee they are always welcome.
- links to photos from the Closing Bonspiel final draws, the awards presentations as well as the season ending banquet have been posted on the Photos and archives page.
