Rolling Stones look to IPM quilt BY EMILY BIEMAN The fourth meeting of the Wawanosh Rolling Stones took place at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club on Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. Brooklyn Hendricks opened the meeting with the 4-H pledge and led the roll call which was, "Who directs the play and tells the curlers where their rocks should stop in the house?" Deanna Haanstra read the minutes of the third meeting. Next, members participated in judging "me pages". Members then discussed what the club's quilt square would look like for the International Plowing Match. Members participated in a game of charades. Following that, members worked on a curling word search. Members then went onto the ice and practised throwing a stone and sweeping. Members then played a mini game. Brooklyn Hendricks closed the meeting with the 4-H motto and members enjoyed snacks provided by Deanna Haanstra. The next meeting was scheduled for Monday, March 6 at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club at 7 p.m. Practice makes perfect After a productive meeting, the 4-H Wawanosh Rolling Stones curling club took to the ice at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club to practice their moves.
