The Men’s section will be hosting the 3rd Annual BCC Legends Classic (presented by Ontario Grounds Care and Colliers Project Leaders) held annually in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Each year, we celebrate the deep tradition of the BCC by recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to our club. Join us this year as we honour our 2018 LEGEND and this year’s
Honourary Chair, Jim Sweetlove.
New this year…Ryder Cup format. Each team entered in the event will be drafted by 1 of four team captains representing a curling country. Three games will be played in Match play, Skins, and the 5 rock rule, as the countries go head to head accumulating points to qualify for the finals where the top two countries will face off for the prize money.
This is intended to be a fun event for seasoned and novice curlers alike.
The Champions will be presented the Donald Stanhope Memorial Trophy, named after one of Canada’s great front enders and 2 time Brier representative..
Dates: Nov. 30 and Dec.1 2018
Finals: Saturday, December 1st

LTC NEEDS MORE VOLUNTEERS
With the success of our Learn to Curl program we are going to need more volunteers to help out on the ice this season. We filled up the league with 48 players and have a substantial wait list now.
Derek Vachon is still on board to run the league but we need on ice help with the large number of participants. It would be very helpful to have 10 or 11 volunteers for the first couple weeks of the program. After it gets running and they play games it is easier to have one person help per sheet. There are 7 LTC sessions before Xmas and please reach out to Derek if you can help with some of the time slots.
We realize Sunday evening is usually family time but even if you can identify one or two dates when you can help we can piece together enough instructors.
Week 1: Sunday October 14 at 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Week 2: Sunday October 21 at 7:30 – 9:30 pm
Week 3: Sunday October 28 at 7:30 – 9:30 pm
Week 4: Sunday November 18 at 7:30 – 9:30 pm
Week 5: Sunday November 25 at 7:30 – 9:30 pm
Week 6: Sunday December 02 at 7:30 – 9:30 pm
Week 7: Sunday December 16 at 7:30 – 9:30 pm
