Championship night resulted in four very competitive games with a fair bit of drama from some of the shots - all thoroughly enjoyed by the packed audience. These teams have bragging rights through the summer and early fall. At that point, all the trophies are once again up for the taking. Special thanks goes to all the convenors that helped organize and run the leagues.

The 2019 Steak Bonspiel was once again a great day of exciting curling and great food. This year's winners were from the Annadale Curling Club. Congratulations to skip Dave Gaudette and the rest of his team - Carl Vickers, Geoff Peck, and Scott Edwards.
Of course we need to thank behind the scenes work by kitchen chief Gaye Burnett and her crew and Derek Marques for once again putting in a great deal of time as spiel master.
Our own Ray Grant has stepped forward to sponsor the second of the two annual Uxbridge Mens Masters Spiels (age 60+) and in addition has provided a trophy. We appreciate his generousity.
The second annual Ray Grant Masters Spiel was enjoyed by all those who competed again this year. Congratulations to the winning team from Uxbridge. Shown from left to right are Skip Tim Lofgren, Lead Norm Preston, Vice Glynn Bayliss and Second Rick Oldham.
Many thanks to all that helpded out:
Great feedback about the roast beef dinner and much talk of “the great ice conditions!”.
The annual Cowspiel winners this year hailed from way up in Huntsville. Dave Rigby, Wayne Watkins, Dale Heiydt, and Ron Kreutzer made up this strong and well dressed team! Well done fellas.
Several "Thank you's" to pass along.
Of note, several visiting teams noted how surprised they were that we could have so many volunteers to help out at all of our spiels. It is simply the way it works at our amazing Club.
Congratulations goes to the Tam Heather team, skipped by Ron Larking. Vice Val Nash, second Brian Nash and lead Cathy Larking rounded out this very strong team. Congratulations! Thanks goes to Pam Norton for the organizing the gang of helpers and the food in the kitchen!

The 2019 T-bone Bonspiel was once again a great day of exciting curling and great food. This year's winners were the 2018 winners as well from the York Curling Club. Congratulations to skp Mark Shephard and the rest of his team - Ryan Davies, Shawn Janes, and Wilf Wilhelm.
Marg McKnight once again organized the amazing kitchen crew and Larry Bertuzzi was welcomed back to be chief drawmaster for the day.
Two solid draws competed for the coveted Turkey Spiel trophy this year. Both draws saw heated battles between very good teams. This year the eventual winners were from the Unionville Curling Club but you'll recognize these guys. Skip: Jim Bell brouight along Scott McPherson, Ray Leroux and Dave Blanchard all brought their "A" game. Behind the scenes, Pam Norton was the crew chief in the kitchen with several wonderful helpers. Super Draw master Derek Marques kept the day moving along to its conclusion.
Our provider has developed a simple free app that can be installed on your phone. Go to the "Play Store" -Android or "Apple Store" - IPhone and download "Curling Club Manager". All you'll need to do then is choose our Club from the drop down, put in your website username and password and you're all set. It is an easy way to check out when your next game is. You can even set up reminders there.
You can't do everything in the app so continue to use our web site as well. Remember, you can also download your schedule to your phone calendar from the website. (This is a bit trickier but someone at the Club can help you if you need it)
The winner of the Mixed Plum Pudding spiel this season was the Ray Brauch team. Unbelievably this is the fourth year in a row! (L-R) Leslie Wagner, Rick Joest, Ray and Sara Campbell played exceptionally well AGAIN and took home the spoils of the day.
Thanks go to Julia Bailey and Bob Weese and their excellent crew for organizing the amazing food for the day. Derek Marques made sure the bonspiel was full and ran smoothly through the day. What a great team of volunteers!
