With the sound of the starter's pistol, the entrants in one of the canoe classes at the Seaforth Optimists annual canoe race down the Bayfield River to Vanastra are off. Although the weather was slightly chilly, the water level was near perfect for the annual event from Seaforth to Vanastra. (photo by Wilma Oke) Seaforth curlers have fun day As I sit here looking at the gloomy weather of April 2nd, I wonder just where our reporter Drusilla is. One wonders if she knows what fun she missed at the old Curling Rink yesterday. If you attended you don't need to be told how delicious the breakfast was, how keen the ice was, what fun we had looking at T- shirts. Everyone had a great time and you sure missed a great day if you weren't there. The first draw was short one ice but the winners were Doug Rowcliffe, Anne Laverty, Ross Lovett, and Kay Campbell: Second draw winners were Jim Cunningham, Sharon Wilson, Ken Woods and Peg Menzies. Bob and Anne Ste Marie won a prize for their T-shirts. l bb is giving ipstruc ions in a new class this' summer and all we need is our Chargex cards girls. Don and Wendy Tremeer won a prize in their class also. Best dressed prize or was it the Club's April Fool prize went to Roy Beuerman. Congratulations to the Committee for a well planned day. Back to the more serious side of things: the ladies held a fun day with Mrs. Miller serving another delicious meal. Winners were Gwen Patterson, Roxanne Brown, Marg Fleming and Laura Anstett on one team and Pat Deighton, Marjorie Papple and Gail King and Drusilla Twynham making up the other. Joyce Doig won the cldthes hamper and Dianne McKay the wallet The Play-offs have now all been played and everyone tried to be the top -dog but there is always one winner and one loser. Too, bad but just think you were lucky enough to be able to say you were among the best on that draw. Better luck next year. The "Sweetheart" Draw was won by the Patterson rink: skip, John Pat- terson Sr.; vice, Lorine D'enomme; second, Clarence Denomme; and lead Drusilla Twynham. The final game of the third draw was between Don Tremeer and Doug Rowcliffe, who had defeated the Beattie team in the 1st round. The spectators could not have asked for better curling as( the winner was un- decided until the last rock was thrown and rolled to its final stop. The team of Don Tremeer, Marjorie Coleman Steve Tyndall and Gail King were the victorious curlers but as a ,witness of the game, I think 'it is only fair to name the other team of Doug Rowcliffe, and his three girls, Carol Innes, Grace Campbell and Cathy Pletsch. The score after 7 ends was 4-4 and Tremeer had the ham- mer coming home. The Silver Broom wasn't any more exciting just bigger 4 prizes. The winner . of the men's draw was played last week with the team of Dave Cornish, skip; Ken Moore vice; Ted Cosford second and Richard Reeder lead defeating Bill Lobb's team. Where was that 6 ender you got on Wed- nesday when you really wanted it like Tuesday night, Bill? The Feed Dealers spiel brought an end to the catering for the club this year. As always, the place was a beehive of activity with lots of story- tellings and the once- ayear-we-meet nonsense. Gord and Irma Pryce ended their spiels for the season by curling with Gerald and Nancy Smith of Belmore at Harriston Friday and Saturday. They didn't get in the prizes but had a terrific time. It ,is time to put away all the curling gear and get serious about the spring work.

She graciously thanked each person. Miss Jeffrey and Mr. Rick Pettit, Goderich, plan to marry on May 19. Since both Deb and Rick are skating.coaches in several clubs they could have quite a con- tingent of guards of honour attending their wedding, (their pupils, that is).
