Brussels Curling Club bonspiel welcomes 20 teams
The Brussels Curling Club hosted
its mixed bonspiel on the weekend.
The club was very pleased to fill
the bonspiel with 20 teams after a lot
of hard work by spiel leader Steve
Knight. There were two draws at 9
a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and things went
fairly smoothly all day.
The main meal of roast beef was
served following the first game,
snacks after the second game and a
light lunch of soup and sandwiches
after the last games for each draw.
In the first draw, winners were:
first, Les Cudmore; second, Bruce
Hahn; third, George Zwep; fourth,
Rick McDonald; fifth, Brian
McGavin; sixth, Hayden Flood;
seventh, Judy DeJong; eighth, Steve
Bowers; ninth, Mark Bancroft and
10th, Haylee McCann.
In the second draw, winners were:
first, Steve Steiss; second, Dale
Cressman; third, Brad Smith; fourth,
Brad Knight and fifth, Carman
Bernard. Sixth place was impossible
to determine because three teams
had identical records, so after cutting
cards, team Sara Alexander was
sixth; seventh, Stacey Culbert;
eighth, Doug Green; ninth, Steve
Knight and 10th, Don Osborn.
The Brussels Curling Club
appreciates all the teams who
participated from our own club and
from Palmerston, Goderich,
Mitchell, Milverton, Seaforth,
Listowel and Vanastra.
The bonspiel is regularly enjoyed
by all and what makes it so special is
the fantastic support the club
receives from the many local
business people.
Everyone gets a prize and we have
many generous sponsors who allow
that to happen. We can’t thank them
enough.
The other reason the bonspiel is
extra special is the participation by
the club members. They canvas the
business for prizes, donate prizes
themselves or make cash donations
towards costs,
Members contribute to the meal,
help put out the rocks and put them
away, sweep between games and
clean the sheets and pebble the ice.
Members also serve coffee and
sweets upon arrival for teams, serve
a roast beef dinner, clear dishes,
make sandwiches, soup, clean up
again, score keep, watch the raffle
table, bartend, and curl and whatever
else is needed.
Almost every member of the
Brussels Curling Club is involved in
some way and that makes it run
smoothly with so many hands
making the load lighter for all.
Steve Knight is the main co-
ordinator and we thank him for all
his hard work.
Dressed for the occasion
The Brussels Curling Club mixed bonspiel over the
weekend featured more than few players decked out in their
St. Patrick’s best, including green clothes and shamrocks,
like Leoni Van De Wetering of Vanastra, shown shooting.
