Norman Nelson was on hand at the Christmas lunch on Dec. 13 for the presentation of the Nelson Memorial Trophy to the winning team of the Fall Session Round Robin Tournament. Pictured are Norman Nelson, Brian Davies draw master, Tim Presber skip, Doreen Charbonneau lead, Shirley Tajcnar 2nd, Fritz Perschon 3rd, sparing for Mary JaNe Hunter.
95 year old Norm Nelson was an active curler until this current season, skipping many teams to victory over the years. The trophy was given to the league, a number of years ago, by the Fisher family, as a memorial to Norm’s wife who was also an avid curler.
The Jan 10 – Mar 20 Winter Session is now well underway with 10 teams participating. This is an increase of 8 curlers over the Fall Session. A big thank you is due to Brian Davies who as draw master sets up the teams, the curling schedule and arranges for spares when needed. Thank you also to Tracey Cove who is our treasurer.
Since we are now using 5 of the possible 6 sheets of ice at the arena there is room for only 8 more curlers in the league for next season. With this in mind, if you are interested in joining this fun league for the 2020 Fall Session you might want to add your name to the spare list for the balance of this curling season so you are kept informed of registration information.
