The season started off in November with a total of 45 curlers between the ages of 12 and 18. This is the largest number of junior curlers we have had in any one season. The amazing thing was that over one-half of them were new joiners. This creat- ed problems when it came time to select teams as we did not have enough people who were experienced enough to be skips. After careful consideration, we came up with 11 teams. On deciding teams we pick out 11 skips and draw from a hat for order for picking the rest of the team. We then decide who should be the vices and draw them out of a hat to see what team they go on. The first draw was held from Noveniber to January and some very interesting games resulted. We only play four ends because we only have one hour (5-6) On Monday nights to do so. 'Therefore the scores do not usually get too high. Of course every team received sonic expert coaching from Mary and Murray Huether and this helped make the final Scores better. The results of the first Sr& is coming to Brussels, draw were very favourable in that teams who had a skip, who was skipping for the first time ended up in the top three spots. The winners were as follows: first place with 321/2 points - Brenda Ten Pas, skip; Ken Higgins - vice; Scott Cardiff - second and Cathy Marks - lead. Second place with 31 points were Wayne Higgins - skip, Melinda Hamilton - vice,. Shawn Bremner - second and Anne Kernaghan - lead. Third place with 29 1/2 points were Ke yin McArter - skip, Susan Cardiff vice, Sharon Exel - second (Kevin played two-thirds of the draw with only three people). Fourth place with 28'/2 points were: Cathy Sholdice - skip, Kerry Bauer - vice, Steven Marks second and Marianne Scott - lead. The other teams taking the other positions were skipped by Brian Ten Pas, David Hall, Kim *Bauer, Joan Car- diff, Gary Pipe, Nanci Ben- nett and June Bremner. In determing points, fiVe points were given for a win,' • three points for a 'tie, one point for a loss and half a point for every point in the game. The second draw in my Opinion did not come off as well as the first draw. There Were Mete problems in tak- ing "big" chunks out of the ice, shooting the rock into the next tiiik, More gab- Sessions at the sidelines, more teams played with less than fotir people' (one, for exaniole, played one-half the .dray with only two) and bigger losses ; example one not mentioning any names, lost 9-0 in four ends. That must have been one of the worst nights. Also, when we tabulated the points to find a winner we had a three way tie for first place. We did manage to break this tie. Winners were as follows: first place with 33 points - Wayne Higgins, skip; Kerry Bauer - vice; Steven Marks - second and Kendra Fisher - lead. Second place with 33 points were: Kim Bauer - skip; Susan Cardiff - vice; Shawn Brem- ner - second; and Scott Cardiff - lead. Third place with 33 points were: Doug Sholdice - skip; Vicki Leis - vice; Kelly Bauer - second and Darron Chesher - lead, and in fourth place with 30 points: Nanci Bennett - skip; Carla Knight - vice; Sandra Huether - second and Mike Smith - lead. Other teams were skipped by Brian Ten Pas, June Bremner, Cathy Sholdice, Ken Higgins, David Hall, Brenda Ten Pas and Joan Cardiff. Also we have an overall trophy for the team with the most points for the season. The winner this year is Wayne Higgins and his team from second draw. This year's executive con- sisted of; President Cathy SholcliceL. -First' Vice-Presid- ent June Bremner; Second Vice.'President Joan Cardiff; Se ' cretary-TreaSurer Nanci Bennet, MI in all ; this has been a good curling seasonand hope all junior curlers will be back next year and also that Some of the executive of the Brussels Curling Club met March 16 to select new officers and committees for the 1981-82 curling season. :These positions will either be accepted or other names added and voted on at the annual meeting on April 4, None of the regular games of mixed curling were can- celled this winter due to storms, so March 16 was a bonus evening of curling. Since the evening back in February when all members had a chance to skip was so successful, this was again tried and enjoyed, although the feeling of competition was less because this game did not count for regular curling. Some members were absent but there were enough present to have all five sheets of ice in play for both draws. Usually sheet 1 is the best ice in the arena but sheet 1 and also sheet 4 ice surfaces left something tb be desired this week. Hopefully there will be better ice conditions next season. However, ac- cording to reports of some curlers from other arena curling clubs, the Brussels arena ice surface is compar- able to most arenas. The Ladies afternoon curl- ing used sheets 2, 3, and 5 on Tuesday afternoon, March 17 with Yvonne Knight and Karen Uhler skipping the winning teams. Joyce Alex- ander and Fran Bremner tied their game. Green seemed to be a favourite color among Dennis Newby tops men's bowling High triple went to Audry Smeding with 578.
