CURLING CLUB MEMORIES
1986 BRIER
Pg 10
In 1986 the Brier was held in Kitchener-Waterloo and our club sponsored the PEI rink. Bill Orr and Bill McFadden helped with the ice. A bus took members down to watch the games on the evening PEI was featured. For our participation in this event our club shared in the profits (3% of 30% or $2,000) and we also received a “Conestoga Wagon” from the organizing committee.
1986 also saw the beginnings of 'Junior Curling' on Sunday afternoons and the club bought junior brooms for their use.
In 1987 we had our first fall fair booth which featured videos, a free draw and a display of our picture albums to promote curling and inform the public of the sport. In addition to promote curling we have also entered floats in various parades in the village.
