End of the season

A bit of a wrap-up for the season. Lots of success for Nutmeg all over.

Derek and Charrissa won the bronze at the National Mixed event. After a slow start they pulled it together and made the playoffs. A loss in the semis but a big win in the Bronze event. Congrats!

The club had a very successful run of open houses and learn to curls for the Olympics. Over 1100 people came through the door to try curling in one form or another. Three separate greenhorn leagues had to be started with 90 new curlers involved. There is already a waiting list for next season for more learn to curls and hopefully more new members to join our merry band.

Sally survived her first year on the GNCC board as 2nd VP. Lots of behind the scenes work to keep the various GNCC championships running smoothly.

Jeff happened to win the Bell Silver Quoits medal at the GNCC spring meeting. This event has been in competition since 1868. Very different rules than the normal quoits game. The motts (pegs) are placed 18 yards apart and the quoits are quite heavy. A bit of technique and a lot of oomph is required to throw them.

Our President Joel did a bang up, spectacular, wonderful, frustrating job running the club for the season. Lots of help from his board too. The club has never been so organized and a lot of that credit goes to Joel.

David did a great job with corporate events this year especially after the Olympics. Lots of groups came in and the club gained a lot of revenue.

Bobbie and her tireless crew of instructors were strained to the max to get all the interested parties trained in curling. Lots and lots of long hours on the ice.

The social committee and the warm room committee keep the interest up in the club and keep the club looking neat and welcoming.

The ice crew did it normal job to keep the ice frozen and in good shape for good curling.

Charrissa worked hard to keep the leagues organized and to keep Joel from going crazy. Lots of unseen work that really made a difference.

Next season will see an increase in the number of curlers and a couple of special events will be happening including the Ross-Tarleton. The RT is an annual competition between the GNCC and Canada.

Have a great summer everyone.
