CHALLENGE CUP PRESENTED—Lloyd Casemore, a 50 -year mem-
ber of the Wingham Curling Club, presented the newly -restored,
60 -year-old Challenge Cup to Jack Goodall recently. Mr. Goodall
was president of the Wingham Curling Club when its new facility was
constructed in 1977. The club marked its 100th anniversary last

Challenge Cup presented
to Wingham Cur!ingciut
The Wingham Curling Club was
presented with a 60 -year-old
Challenge Cup at last weekend's
Sweetheart BonspieL
Challenge Cup play started in 1929
among clubs of District 14. However,
play was discontinued with the start
of World War II in 1939.
It was not even located until two
years ago. Now repaired and
cleaned, it is ready for another 60
years of curling competition. \
Back in the early days of the
challenge cup, curlers took their
own curling stones in a box and
travelled by train to different towns
to represent their club.
The bonspiel would last for two or
three days until a winner was
declared. All curling was done on
natural ice and they sometimes had
to wait until it was cold enough to
make the ice.
By all reports,. according to Lloyd
"Casey" Casemore of Wingham, the
club members had a good deal of fun
playing in those days.
The challenge cup went to Mount
Forest in 1929 and again in 1934,1937-
38. Kincardine won the cup ; in 1930,
Palmerston in 1932-33 and 1935,
while Wingham was victorious in
1931 and '39.
Jack Goodall, president of the
Wingham Curling Club when it was
constructed in 1977, accepted the cup
last Saturday evening from Mr.
Casemore, .a long-standing member
of the club and still curling after
nearly 50 years.
The club also was to have been
presented with a 100 -year plaque by
a representative of the Ontario Curl-
ing Association last Saturday, but no
one was able to attend. The
Wingham Curling Club was formed

were directed at him, Elmslie was
sharp.
The game for the lads was all
offense and little attention was paid
to defensive play. It is noted that
every player except the two goal -
tenders received at least one point.
Jonathon Lane led the way with
seven pointson four goals and three
assists. Brett Sangster was next
with five mints on two Goals and
three assists, while Ryan Leibold
and G. T. Welch each had one goal
and three assists.
