2008 Golf and Curl
Bonspiel info...
(October)
|
Held in the middle of October, this is the event that kicks off
the curling season at Arnprior Curling Club. If the weather cooperates
there is a nine-hole golf event followed by a six-end curling match.
Following tradition, the two competing teams sit together at a table to
socialize. Dinner is served in the early evening, catered by members of
the club. You can sign up as a team or as an individual.

Vydon Achers

|
This bonspiel features a German theme in
food and refreshments. Teams of up to eight curlers will rotate through
the four-team positions, leaving plenty of time for socializing. Dinner
follows the curling.

Dick-All
Bonspiel
(late Dec)
|
Held between Christmas and New Years Day,
teams
from Pakenham CC compete with Arnprior CC teams for a trophy that
leaves one feeling the winners didn't really win and the losers didn't
really lose. Hence the name - it reflects what you win! But during the
Holiday Season, it's more about giving than receiving, right?
Each player rotates through the four positions of lead, second,
third and skip. Even an inexperienced curler can end up as skip on the
final end and make a crucial shot to preserve the honour of the club.
A great social time is held after the curling, perhaps with
members of the two clubs providing pianists and lead singers for a
sing-a-long….or not! Each year, the host club changes, regardless of
winning or losing. In 2006, we head back to Arnprior.

Community
Bonspiel
(mid Jan)

Held in mid-January, this is an opportunity
for ACC regulars to invite non-members for a weekend of fun at the
Club. Inexperienced curlers are welcome. Members are encouraged to
enter a team made up of two regulars and two people who are new to this
exciting sport.
Many of our current members have been introduced to the club and
to participation in the sport at this event.
Games are held Friday evening and Saturday, followed by a
dinner-dance on Saturday evening.
