Lunenburg Curling Club
From The Hack
e-brief - by Scott McVittie
A monthly news letter for members of the Lunenburg Curling Club
January has come and gone and it was an active month for LCC.
Playoffs were held in the first week of January. Winners of the Day Ladies and the evening schedules were crowned and their photos were promptly displayed on our website.
Every Friday night our club was booked with curling. The sponsors were The Friends of Corkums Island, the Day Ladies and Adams and Knickle. Each night featured delicious food, fun curling and great comraderie. Thank you to all the sponsors and to those that worked to make each Friday Fun Night a success.
Last weekend the club hosted the 24th annual Mariner Mixed Bonspiel. This year the event was sponsored by Bud Light. Nineteen teams registered and the curling began Friday night and ended Sunday at 5:20 p.m. The main event featuring the undefeated teams went into an extra end and saw a team from Bridgewater , skipped by Lunenburger Jason Mercer, defeat Mike Robinson. For a list of all division winners and runners up, see our web page and bulletin board.
The bonspiel was a huge success. Many of our members curled in the event and a few members were called into spare. Jamie Myra and Kent Saunders organized the spiel and they are to be commended for their efforts. Numerous members and a couple of good community citizens worked the kitchen, the ice, the score table as well as provided food for the Friday night spread, the Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch. On behalf of the LCC, I want to thank everyone who contributed and volunteered to make the event a success.
It was very impressive to see the membership come together to support the event and be great hosts to many visiting curlers. True Lunenburg hospitality!
