CURLING BONSPIEL
The following message was received from June Harvey of the Cobourg & District Probus Club as a matter of interest to other Clubs.
Perhaps the following
initiative of our club might be of interest to other Probus members across the
country.
A First Ever Mixed Curling Bonspiel held November 24/04
Dalewood Golf
&Curling Club was the scene of the action as 16 teams from Probus Clubs in
Brighton, Cobourg, Oshawa, Peterborough,
Port Hope & Quinte met for a
full day of action on the ice. The majestic tones
from the bagpipes led the 64 curlers onto the ice and as many more
watched and "never missed a shot
from behind the
glass".
This was a day
of fellowship from the time the first rock was thrown , the wonderful
luncheon, the trips to the prize table, the flash of the
camera and the exchange of email addresses etc.
Calls for a repeat
visit next year were heard throughout the day.
Thanks were due to
Warren Harvey of the Cobourg & District Probus Club who put this
day together.
