| Dan Horton slides out while Al Gemmell records it and using a software program he has, Dan is able to see if he is sliding to the broom and how he can improve. |

| Haley Horton showing Maymar her slide. Haley is going to skip the Bantam ladies this year. her teammates are Carlie Geoffroy, Julia Horton and Tamarra Behnke. These girls are serious too, they are playing in the Tuesday ladies and the Wednesday Open 8 Ender. And practice days are Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. These girls are awesome! |

| Bella Blanchet slides out showing Maymar that she has the right stuff. Bella may be young but she has been playing for a while and is no stranger to the Roaring Game. Oct 2 and it's Curling Instruction Night at the BRCC. Al and Maymar Gemmell were out again this year, donating their time to help improve curlers' skills or to introduce new curlers to the game. I stopped by for a while and observed while young and old alike were shown some pregame exercises and then escorted to the ice surface for some on-ice instruction. THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT MAYMAR AND AL. Instruction was scheduled for tonight (the 3rd) as well but has been CANCELLED. There is some unforeseen maintenance required that will prevent use of the ice tonight. That's OK. Curling starts on Tuesday, Oct 9 with the Ladies League. Yep, that's right, everything starts up on Tuesday. And I'll be there to see my beloved Rez Girls kick off the season. And here's one more: Look below. I know what you're thinking. Was Glen Austin a Bay City Roller? Or perhaps he was auditioning for Abba. Well, actually, this was a curling bonspiel in Labrador City when I was in Grade 10. You just know this picture is old...just look at the ashtrays on the walls. AND, look behind the glass...that's SueAnne Bartlett. For those of you who don't know her, she is a Newfoundland Ladies Curling Icon. She has been to several Scott Tournament of Hearts. Good times!  ATTN Men: There is curling this Thursday, Oct 4. It does not count on the schedule but some guys want to get together and play some games. Just show up for a game.
Rock On!

Where did you hide Sue-Ann? Could not see her in the photo. Played against her several times in Srs - sadly, for you Newfies, she now lives in NS! Still makes her a Maritimer.
She's there..just hard to see. She has been a family friend since before I was born. My mother and Sue Ann grew up together. Sue Ann is an awesome lady and was an excellent mentor during my early curling years. Just like Maymar and Al at the BRCC.
