by Alan DemalineIt is hard to believe that the Christmas rush has passed, noisy New Year’s Eve celebrations have ushered in 2020 and resolutions have been made and many have already been broken, including mine! Oh well, that's the way the Christmas cookie crumbles, and now it is time to get you up to date on all the exciting happenings at the Fundy Curling Club (FCC).
Speaking of resolutions, it appears many in the community have made 2020 the year to get involved in the game of curling. We were very happy to see that our three-day adult learn-to-curl program attracted the attention of twenty eager soon-to-be curlers. Participants quickly learned that curling is a fun and interactive activity that promotes social interaction as well as increasing flexibility, strengthening muscles and improving aerobic fitness. I am also certain they are now out and about in the community using terms like Hog line, In turn, and Hack. Don't be surprised if you walk across the street in Riverside Albert and slip on a bit of ice and one of our new curlers spontaneously yells out “Hurry hard!” Thanks to all who participated and welcome to our club.
To grow a club of any type, it is essential to get the kids involved, which is why we are all so excited about our Little Rocks curling that starts January 5th. Thanks again to the Bennett and Albert County Health Care (BACH) Foundation for purchasing a set of Little Rock curling stones. We are now able to offer a ten-week program for kids aged 6-12. The club also launched a Little Rocks Sponsorship Program to help raise funds for youth curling in the years to come. We are pleased to announce that the 16 sponsorship spots available have already sold out. All proceeds raised will be directed to youth curling at the FCC. Sponsorship benefits include your name or company name permanently engraved on a Little Rocks curling stone and displayed on a banner to be hung at the club, as well as seeing all those smiling little faces as they slide down the ice! The club has already used some of the funds to purchase Little Rocks curling brooms and sliders for all of the kids starting the program this January. Thanks to all our Little Rocks Curling Program sponsors!
Be sure to stop at the club on the weekend of January 31st, February 1st and 2nd to watch some exciting action in our mixed bonspiel. Entries are limited to the first 16 teams and is open to members and non-members. Register your team early to avoid missing out.
See you one the ice!
