The Brussels Curling Club
finished the first draw of the season
last week. They had a good turnout
for the draw with four sheets of ice
full of players. The last night of the
draw was celebrated with tasty
snacks, the ugliest sweater prize
presentation and a viewing of the
50th anniversary video from last
spring presented by Gary Pipe.
A special treat was the appearance
of Orval Bauer, who with Ruth
dropped by to say hello and wish
everyone Merry Christmas. He
reports that he misses the curling,
but will be awhile recovering from
his accident. It was nice to see Orval
and wish him well in his recovery.
The prize for the ugliest Christmas
sweater went to Danica Zwep for her
sweater with the light-up fireplace
on it. Other sweaters included Jennie
Schimanski and her Christmas toilet
seat cover attached to her sweater
and Merv Bauer with his sweater
decorated with bows, candy canes,
suckers and a bell that would tinkle
when he walked.
President MaryAnn Thompson
wore a winter scene sweater with
poinsettias pinned on it and a string
of flashing lights and her Christmas
pyjama pants. A couple of the men,
Jack Pipe with snowman and Doug
Bremner with poinsettias, thought
wearing women’s sweaters would
make them winners. Steve Steiss
thought a Toronto Maple Leaf jersey
should qualify for ugliest sweater,
but the judges went with the burning
fireplace as the winner.
The winners of the first draw was
the team of Steve Steiss, Danica
Zwep, 47; second, Murray Hoover
and team members, 45; third,
George Zwep’s team, 38 and Steve
Knight’s team, 37. The final four
teams were: Darrell Uhler’s, 30; Jo-
Ann McDonald, Mary Bernard,
Jennie Schimanski, Doug Bremner,
24; Merv Bauer’s team, 20 and
Carman Bernard’s team, 18.
