CURLING ANYONE?

On Thursday November 29, 2018, over 60 Rotarian curlers met at the St. Catharines Golf & Country Club for the 43rd Annual "Bill Ford" Bonspiel, held in honour and memory of long-time Rotarian (and avid curler) Bill Ford. Jointly sponsored by the Rotary clubs of St. Catharines; St. Catharines South and  St. Catharines Lakeshore, participants enjoyed lunch, dinner and a free try at a Closest to the Hole Golf contest held at the golf club’s indoor virtual reality golf course facility.
 
The winning team for 2018 was skipped by Dennis Gilmore from the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls Sunrise. He was joined by vice Bruce Raham; second Ged Leahy and lead Jim Hooper. PDG Reg Madison was also a participant as skip of the Brantford AM team, which finished fourth overall.

We invite all curlers to mark Thursday November 21, 2019 on their calendars for this year’s event!
