I started curling last winter and this weekend I played in my first bonspiel! We got knocked out after 3 games in A bracket. Made it to the quarter finals and took a team of club founders to extra ends, felt good! 🥌

We played in the Shamrock #bonspiel in #Waupaca this weekend. We came in first in the second event! I love doing well in a bonspiel. I love the friends we made #curling and the comaraderie even more!

Rhubarb Cake baked and ready to take to #curling club as part of my contribution for our Valentines Day #bonspiel this weekend. I'll drop it off when I go to curl in what's become my favorite league, Early Open. It's laid back and the focus is as much on fun as on curling. Followed by a shared delicious dinner. Life is good!

Winner winner! And by winner I mean we were the first team selected after the top 5 teams got their prizes 🤣 #Curling #bonspiel #TootSpiel

Made a nice raise to tie it in the final end, and put it right in the lid for the draw to the button to break the tie. Closed off win a win! #curling #bonspiel #tootspiel #TimeToStack

We won the drinks! #bonspiel #tootspiel #curling

It’s #bonspiel weekend!!! Can’t wait! And next weekend too!! #curling #tootspiel #LadiesSpiel #flamingo #NotDorian

Today is the annual Men’s bonspiel at our club. This one day, midweek bonspiel is the longest continually held bonspiel in NB. Why midweek? Traditionally, the merchants of St Stephen took Wednesday off and stayed open on weekends, when the farm folk from surrounding towns came to do business. The club has upheld this tradition for over 100 years, stopping only for COVID. 🥌 #curling #bonspiel #history

Yesterday I had the opportunity to help at the first #Paralympic #Bonspiel at the Wauwatosa #Curling Club. We were joined by curlers from the Windy City Curling club in #Chicago and Kettle Morraine Curling Club just down the road. It was a huge success and I can't wait to see this part of the sport continue to grow!

My CC: the theme for the bonspiel is Pink!
Me: pink is a colour, not a theme.
CC: but EVERYTHING PINK! It’s easy, everyone has pink clothes.
Me: ummm, I don’t.
CC: …*dances off in a cloud of pink tulle*

Me: well, what pink character could I tolerate and/or make that is fun and annoying but also easy to curl in?

Yip yip yip yip yip yip… uh-huh uh-huh #curling #bonspiel #costume

Just saw a #bonspiel advertising participants must be at least 18 and no older than 100. I kinda want to ask them why they're discriminating against old people! #curling

My other win for the day is registering my niece and her boyfriend for their first #curling #bonspiel. They'll play with my husband and I in a newbie spiel where you're required to have two new curlers on your team. So happy when I get to introduce new people to my favorite sport!

Toronto's Rotators Second-Chance Bonspiel November 26-27 is seeking one more team to fill out the draw! Email rotators@pridecurl.ca if you're interested in weekend curling fun at the Royal Canadian Curling Club!
