Recreation

Now, as I write this the weather outside is great
and I'm told that the Three Musketeers are ready
and waiting for us at the Upper Course and Chris
Christianson is starting to talk about a trip up the .
,valley to Winlaw before long..That course should be
about ready now and I'm told tbatlloaland should
be off and running by April 1. So, it's going to be, get
the clubs out and be ready for a good season. That'll
take us through to early October.
And now, to curling results for the past season
and to the preparations for the windup do.
In the first competition Russ Broughton skipped
his rink of "Spud" Martin, Jack McDonald, Hal
McCormick and Jack Mitchell, to victory in the Bill
Scott-Jack Molyneux trophy. Competition No. 2 saw
Dan Burnett pilot his group of Bart Dudley, Larry
Prough, Roly Ellis and Don 1.anussi to win the
Legion trophy. the club trophy for the third competition was also won by Russ Broughton with heJ.p
from Joe Bielli, Cleve Cowland, George Staudinger
and Willie Dorey. The final competition for the
Bank of Montreal trophy was taken by Angus
Popplewell with help from Joe Bielli, Jim ~
son, Al Besso and Cliff Davison.
.
As I have said before, it was a good season and
while you'll notice a couple of names crop up twice
in the trophy list quite a bunch of the newer curlers
have their names on it, which is a good deal all
around. Names of the above winners are in order,
skip, third, second, lead and fifth man. The format
for the Plugs and Colts windup is four-end games
with a point an end plus two for a win and one each
for a tie. Games will be played on Thursday
(yesterday) and Tuesday with the lunch on
Tuesday.
So, it's time to say
'Til enxt time then!
