2008 -- No Curling April 6th!!
Chaparral Ice still isn't ready for us! They are not
ready for us to move our rocks to the new rink yet.
Hopefully, this will happen sometime this next week and we'll be
back on the ice soon.
The Texas Open Bonspiel in Dallas is the weekend of April
12-13, and many of our club members will be participating. This means our first day of curling on
the new rink will be Sunday April 20th at the usual time.
Don't miss this date to come out and see the new rink with REAL
HOUSES, HOG LINES, T-LINES and even CENTER LINES.
Please note that the membership meeting scheduled to follow
curling April 6th will be rescheduled. Stay tuned to the
website and email for more updates on when we'll be back on the
ice!

2008 -- Photos of the New Rink
We
have some great pictures of Dennis, Bill, Wayne and Ramona laying
the houses and lines in the new rink. We also have some
fantastic shots of the finished product. Check out our
Photo Gallery for these pictures.
A special thanks to Wayne and Alex for taking and sharing these
pictures.

2008 -- No Curling March 30th!!
We have just received word from Chaparral Ice that the new ice
rink will not be ready by this Sunday (March 30). The Chaparral
Website at
http://www.chaparralice.com/ states they are now on track to
open the doors for business on Monday at 6:30 pm.
This means our first day of curling on
the new rink will be Sunday April 6th at the usual time.
Don't miss this date to come out and see the new rink with REAL
HOUSES, HOG LINES, T-LINES and even CENTER LINES. A big thank you
to Dennis, Bill, Wayne and Ramona for all their hard work this
week helping to put down the houses and lines. I've heard it looks
GREAT!
For those of you who don't know......the new facility is still
in the Northcross complex over where the Beall's store use to be.
Chaparral Ice has offered the use of their fork lift to help move
the rocks to the new rink. We are expecting that to happen next
Wednesday or Thursday. We may put out a call for helpers when the
time arrives, so be prepared to tote some 42 lb. rocks!
We're almost there!!
Stay tuned.

11, 2008 -- Important Club Announcements!
On February 16 (Saturday night) you are invited to come
out and curl at the Northcross Mall Ice Rink from 10:30pm until
midnight. A private birthday party will occupy 2 sheets. The other
2 sheets will be open curling with a $15 ice fee. We will also
need volunteers to help with ice prep and instruction for that
night. Please come out and join us for some nighttime curling fun.
On February 17 (Sunday morning) league curling will
start one hour earlier (at 9am). Chaparral Ice has asked us to
start earlier for this one session due to hockey playoffs at the
rink.
Also, we are now taking nominations for Board positions.
Nominations should be submitted to Membership Director
Pat Popovich by March 2 and elections will be held at the next
membership meeting on March 30.
