More Honours for Simcoe Curlers

On April 5^th, 6^th and 7^th, a Simcoe rink consisting of Doug Woods (skip), Brian Dodge (vice), Garry McMillan (second) and Dave Eberlee (lead) posted a 4 wins, 1 loss record in a very unique bonspiel held in Oakville.

The bonspiel was the 40^th Men’s Lefthanders World Curling Championship and included rinks from Scotland, the USA and from across Canada.

The 4 wins, 1 loss record made the Simcoe rink the Consolation Event winners. Well done gentlemen! 

The Simcoe Curling Club enjoyed another successful season. We were honoured with the Simcoe Vision Impaired team winning the Canadian championship and then subsequently hosting the provincial vision impaired play downs. It was truly amazing to watch these games.

The curling season officially ended at the SCC on Friday, April 5^th with the last Social Mixed league games being played and Linda Ball serving up an absolutely fabulous buffet for well over 120 diners. To see all the winners in all the leagues for the 2012-13 season, please visit the members’ site under each league. The winning teams are listed there and in many cases there are also pictures. Speaking of pictures, be sure to check out the photos section of our website to see much of the activity that went on at our club this past season.

The curling ice was removed on Monday, April 8^th with a voluntary crew of more than 20 members. The brine line headers were also inspected for the first time in many of our member’s memories. The inspection proved to be good news with very little corrosion evident, considering the age of the headers.

Even though the curling season has ended, there will continue to be activity in our club. We are planning to upgrade the floors in both the men’s and ladies washrooms. Roof leaks in the lounge area were addressed by our landlord and their contractors on April 12^th.
