NEW NOVICE DIVISION
Are you a non-curling Rotarian that has always wanted to try the game but felt a bit “intimidated” to join into the regular draws at a bonspiel? Maybe you are a skip trying to fill your club rink for Rotarian curling events in the future. Here’s a way inexperienced Rotarians can give curling a shot – with instruction and a couple of fun games with fellow new Rotarian curlers.
The Rotary clubs of Area 6, St. Catharines, St. Catharines South and St. Catharines Lakeshore are pleased to announce the addition of a Novice Division for their jointly sponsored 44th Annual “BILL FORD” MEMORIAL BONSPIEL to be held on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at the St. Catharines Golf & Country Club. The bonspiel will continue to feature its usual two draw format for experienced 4 person rinks as well.
The new Novice Division will occur concurrently with the regular draws and will include:
- Usual pre-draw get together for Coffee and Muffins
- One hour instruction (off and on-ice) using sticks with experienced curlers
- Teams of novices formed by the instructors with experienced curler as skip
- One 2 – end game.
- Lunch with the rest of the experienced rinks
- Participate in the Closest to the Hole Golf Contest.
- Return to ice for a 4-end game
- Dinner and prizes.
COST: $90 per person for the Novice Event; $360 per 4-person rink for Regular Draws
For more information and entry form on either or both curling options, contact Frank Parkhouse (905-935-6960; Email frank.parkhouse57@gmail.com). Closing Date for entries: November 7, 2019.
