On behalf of the BCC Social committee, I would like to welcome all curlers to join us in the exciting events we have planned for this upcoming season.
First up is our Euchre night which will be catered by Honey West restaurant. The signup sheet is going up on Saturday October 1st. The first 40 people will get in. Dinner only will also be offered.
This year we have added a brand new event! We are having a Christmas dance on Saturday December 10th. We have booked a live band to play. More details to follow.
Coming soon: “The Event Calendar”
The Social committee will be displaying an event calendar in the club which will show a full list of all the Social & Mixed events for the 2016/17 season. This will stay up all year, and you will be able to see the dates for each event.
If you have any questions or requests please contact a committee member.

Practicing at the BCC
Please remember there is limited ice available and many members who will want to throw a few rocks in the beginning of the year.
Please……
1. Share the ice with others….there should be a maximum of 4 people on a sheet of ice
2. Limit your practice time. If there are members waiting to throw, limit your time practicing and let someone else give it a try.
3. Go easy the first few practice sessions. Work your body into throwing rocks slowly by limiting the number of rocks you throw to avoid any injury or sore muscles, and be sure to do some stretching before you go onto the ice.
New Club Policy
Procedure to follow if a member or guest falls on the ice
At the recent meeting of the Board of Directors, a new policy was approved regarding falls on the ice. This policy was developed as a result of a recommendation by the OCA.
BCC Policy:
If a club member or guest falls on the ice, and it is determined they have hit their head on the ice the member/guest is to stop curling, go to the club lounge, and BCC staff are directed to call 911. The Emergency Services Staff will then come to the club and conduct an assessment, and if necessary take the member/guest to the hospital for treatment. The BCC will compensate the member/guest for any charges incurred.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Goldline Store
The Goldline Store will be at the BCC October 11,12,13. They will have a full inventory of all curling products available, including shoes and clothing. More details will be available as the date approaches.
Please note, there will not be an Asham store at the BCC this year. Asham products can easily be ordered on line. See their website for details.
CYOT Registration
The CYOT registration is now available on the bulletin board in the clubs meeting room. You can sign up as an individual and we will make your name available to any teams seeking players or alternatively you can sign up as a team. We currently have 19 teams participating.

Scottie Tournament of Hearts
Some of the STOH Committee members will be at the BCC October 1. They will have information on tickets and volunteering for the event. More detail will be in the next BCC Update.
Run for the Cure
This event will be held the morning of October 2. The BCC Mixed Draws will be scheduled starting at 1:00pm to give a chance for the traffic to clear the BCC area.
Drury Lane Construction
If you are coming to the club from the north end, part of Drury Lane is closed and under construction and will be for most of September. It is best to choose an alternate route.
