We hosted 23 people and a handful of them were new to curling. 2 sheets were full of experienced players and the 3rd sheet was used for teaching for part of the evening and for a few games for the rest of the evening. Everyone was playing by the time the event was done and there were some great photo-worthy shots that were widely admired.
Special thanks to Jay and the Iceoplex team for setting up the ice and giving us the ice time, and to Kate and Marian for helping organize, teach, and for moral support. And a special shout out to everyone who helped set up, move stones, tear down, move stones back, and contributed to the event being a success.
Good curling!

We hosted 26+ people, 6+ of whom were new to curling. We had 3 sheets going again but tonight the new folks learned so quickly that all 3 sheets were hosting games almost the whole night. Everyone had a fun time and the ice conditions were great! We’ve also got a third pair of new hacks, which means all 3 sheets had modern hacks and we no longer have to use the older hacks that don’t work quite as well. And finally, we got to use a new house-drawing device that one of our members built, so the temporary third sheet that we’ve been breaking out more and more often got a minor upgrade.
Special thanks to Jay and the Iceoplex team for setting up the ice and giving us the ice time, and to Kate and Marian for helping organize, teach, and for moral support. And a special shout out to Chris for helping draw the third house and help get set up.
Good curling!

We hosted 28 people, 12 of whom were new to curling. We had 3 sheets going with lessons and pick-up games. Some new folks jumped into games within a few minutes and other new folks jumped into games after practicing for a while. Everyone who jumped into a game did very well, and some of the games were extremely competitive! One of the sheets had almost every stone ending up in-play almost every game, which is impressive indeed.
Special thanks to Jay and the Iceoplex team for setting up the ice and giving us the ice time, and to Kate and Marian for helping organize, teach, and for moral support. Also, a shout out to Chris, Peyton and Sharon for helping set up, helping run the games, and for everything else they do for our humble little group.
