First of all, I would like to thank all the membership who turned out to help with our Learn to Curl session this past Sunday. We had twelve new curlers attend our session, and four new members signed up. Based on what I saw, the new people had a great time, and most did well in mastering the basics of curling. Also thanks to Kathy Younker for bringing up 4 people from her group in San Antonio.

Our fall league will start up in two weeks time on Oct. 4. Next Sunday, we are planning a unique event that will feature practice time, a chance to form rinks for the league, and games with “alumni” members. We are sending a special invitation to former members of our club, many of whom have not curled at our new facility, to come and try out our new ice.

The first half of next Sunday’s session will be free form, so you can practice your technique and get pointers from experienced club members. The second half will be a few mini, 2 end games. So if you have formed rinks, this will be your chance to play together.

I am impressed by the enthusiasm everyone has shown during the past two weeks. I think this will be a great season of curling, reuniting with friends in the club, and generally having a great time.

As always, I welcome your ideas and suggestions. Good Curling !!!
