Terry Fox Curling Marathon at BGCC |
|
Burlington Golf and Country Club has organized a curling marathon that will run from March 12 to 14, 2010 and would like to invite a team from BCC to join them. This year is the 30th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. They wanted to do something special to commemorate him and will attempt to set a world record for the longest continuous curling game. They think the fun and the community impact would be greater if we had the game as a challenge between our clubs. They want the attempt at the world record to be the focal point for fund raising for the Terry Fox Foundation. Use the following link to sign up and view the recent news release for more information. https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/LoginRegister.aspx?EventID=45046&LangPref=en-CA |

Dominion Club Championship Schedules |
|
Ladies and Gentlemen
Please click below for the schedules for the 2010 Dominion Playdowns. Games begin on Sunday, February 28, and run on Sunday evenings through the remainder of the year. The mini-tournament is a double-knockout format. Ladies' Schedule Men's Schedule
There are no hard and fast rules for sparing - any female or male member of our club is eligible as a spare, and spares can play at any position. But for a game to be official, 3 of the 4 original team members must be present and on the ice. If you are unable to play a game for this reason, please let me know and we'll work together to find an open ice from either Basswood or Social. Hopefully we don't run into that situation.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Rob |
