New Season Starting Up!

Brad Gushue. Off to a good start as he wins the Baden Masters in Switzerland just this past weekend. This team was looking good last season as they had an excellent showing. This year, it looks like they have a full schedule and you can be sure they are stoked to do well enough at the Pretrials to get to the Roar of the Rings. They are playing again this weekend at the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard. Team Brad Jacobs will be there as well. Here is another team just brimming with potential and after the stunning season they had last year, you can be sure that this is one of the teams to watch in the Pretrials. Interestingly enough, I noticed Team Homan is not on the roster on the ladies' side in this Oakville spiel.

And it is near the beginning of another season at the BRCC as well. After a summer of repairs and preparation, the BRCC will be ready to rock n' roll for another season. The Brine Headers were replaced as well as the compressor. No small task but we needed it!

Brian St Pierre will be our new club associate so please make him feel welcome when you see him.

Here are some important dates to remember:

Sept 14: CLEAN UP DAY.  We need volunteers to show up at the club and help get rid of the cobwebs and get our club in shape for the upcoming season. This is an excellent way to get your volunteer hours out of the way early!

Sept 23:  7 pm - 9 pm. REGISTRATION! Git yer teams together and git them registered!

Oct 4 - 5: IRONBROOM.  This spiel has been resurrected. It features 8 ends of curling on Friday evening, 18 holes of golf on Saturday am (4 man scramble...shotgun start) and 8 ends of curling on Saturday evening. Also, there's a dinner and a dance. This is an Open format so mixed, ladies or mens teams are welcome. Cost is $240.00 per team. Leave your payment at the Huron Pines Golf Course or get hold of Bob Villeneuve. First 24 "paid" teams are in! Don't wait too long!

Oct 7: Leagues start up. Awesome...we'll be on the ice early this year!!

So here we go! Another year starting up and another year blogging. I'm stoked!  and I hope you guys are too!

Rock On!
