Post Ladies Spiel Reflections

BRCC's own Shirley Lemieux. Living proof that the Fountain of Youth exists! And here she is with her fav European curler, Thomas Ulsrud, certainly one of her Las Vegas highlights. Who says there are no highlights in curling. For sure there are many throughout a season. And you don't have to travel all the way to the American Southwest to find them. Many curling highlights are found right at your own club. The BRCC is no exception. And how do these highlights originate? From the excellent people who participate within the club.


EXCELLENT CONTRIBUTORS: Nicole and Nathan Mutch. Between the Maple Sugar Spa and Home Hardware, this terrific duo donated prizes and provided prizes at reduced prices. You can't beat em!

Dave Mitchell and Mitchell Pharmacy. ALWAYS donating and supporting the club, it's curlers and our competitive curlers. Dave and Marty are a first-rate people. The BRCC is a better place because of them.

Cameco. Need I say more? This company has contributed so much over the years, words can't express.....

SHOPPING LOCAL: Always a good idea.  I should note that the planning committee bought all the prizes for the Ladies Spiel locally. With so many local businesses contributing to the club, it seems only fitting that we shop locally for our prizes. It's a symbiotic relationship for sure.

BEATIN' THE BIG PEOPLE: Hayley Horton and crew. Hayley still loses a few games, but she wins alot more of them. All the hard work and dedication to the Roaring Game has paid dividends.

GOOD TIMES IN TV LAND: There is a ton of TV curling coming our way and it will kick off with the Scotties this weekend. If the winter is dragging on for you now, kit won't much longer because the plethora of TV curling that is about to engulf you will take the bite right out of old Jack Frost. And when you finally look up from your screen, it will be Mens Closing time...a sure sign of spring!

HEALED AND THROWING WELL: Sandy Milroy. Sandy had an injury before Christmas and was using a stick for a short time. However, that is all behind him now and he is back and curling with a vengeance.

GREAT Co-COOKS: Marshall Chow and Gator Fortin. These guys were cooks along with Ron Forest for supper and breakfast at the Ladies Spiel and boy, they dished up some awesome chow (pardon the pun Marshall!) Thanks alot guys.

GREAT ICE: The BRCC. The ice speed is great and the curl is awesome. Most runs have been eliminated thanks to the hard work and diligence of the BRCC ice crew. Boy...these guys are dedicated. They spend alot of time at the club. What good fortune that the BRCC has excellent volunteers. We could not do without them.

BRCC BE ALL - END ALL: Ricky Albert. Always helping at the club in every capacity imaginable. Ricky helps with the ice, with the bar, with cleaning....man, this guy is awesome! If you see him around, shake his hand and let him know he is appreciated. He is one of the best behind-the-scenes helpers we have!

Rock On!
