It was a Bonspiel with a difference on Tuesday and it seems to have gone down well with all the players.
We welcomed back Charlie, Carly and Ben from our reserves pool.
We had nine curlers on the ice, split into three teams, initially playing two ends per match, with yours truly keeping score. The aim was to get as many ends as possible in before time ran out.
The teams were
Bill - Sue - Charlie
Jim L - Katie - Ben
David - Jim P - Carly
Matches 1 and 2 were peeled so everything was close as the teams went into the second hour. Jim’s team took control of Match 3 decisively at which point we reduced the games to one end, to ensure each Team played six ends. Everybody won games and peeled games so there was very little in the final, outcome but it was Jim - Katie - Ben who triumphed………..the photo does not do justice to their beaming smiles at the post meal prize giving.
We convened to the restaurant where Lorrie and his team laid on a lovely dinner, a showman as always, heaven flamed the Christmas pudding at the table. Afterwards President Bill welcomed our new reserves, thanked everyone for taking part and making the Bonspiel a success. The wining the day in choosing their Secret Santa and with everyone drifted off into the freezing night air, no doubt thinking about next years festive o petition and ow could it possibly top this night!
