The Ironbroom was a fantastic way to start the season. It gave everyone an opportunity to get together after the summer and catch up. And play some late season golf and some early season curling.
Lots of good games throughout the 2 day event and quite the mixture of teams. With the "open" format, all-men, all-lady and mixed teams were in the mix.
The golf was played at Huron Pines. What a beautiful course. It rained for about 8 out of the 18 holes but it was manageable and at some point it stopped and then was all good again.
The ice? All I can say is "wow!" If we have that kind of ice all season, we will be cooking with gas! The speed was great and the amount of curl. The ice certainly made some big come-arounds possible and contributed in a very big way to level of enjoyment people were having out there on the ice. Kudos to the ice crew...superior quality.
Thanks alot to Lisa Horton and Beverly Behnke who worked on the bar both nights and they spent hours and hours there. Thanks alot ladies, that was first rate! And a great start for Brian St Pierre who kicked off his new employment at the BRCC this weekend. And he was great.
As I stated earlier, Bob was the man who ran this event. He did an excellent job organizing the Ironbroom and it went off without a hitch. Thisx spiel is going to much bigger next year...people just loved it. And hey, it is great for the club too. After the costly improvements to the BRCC, an early event like this certainly helps.
Like I said before, the BRCC is extremely lucky to have the people that it does because the BRCC has a great reputation for fun events. It is the people who plan and volunteer as well as attend these events that make it all work.
Spectacular weekend! Spectacular job by all those involved.
Rock On!
