Jim Skewis was an active member of Tam until Pancreatic Cancer struck last year. Peter Rebek recently visited him in his home in Pickering and it does not look like he will be returning to curling since the cancer has returned. He lives at 1100 Begley unit 11. This is an excerpt from his son’s email to Peter, extending an invitation to any of his friends at Tam:

As we are not certain how much time we have left. Please come by anytime and extend this visitation to any of his friends at the curling club.

Thanks

Looking for “newer” women curlers who want to enhance their understanding of the game!

The Mini Majors is a development-focused tournament with 4 8-end games at different curling clubs in the area. You will rotate through the different team positions – but don’t worry, there will be coaching sessions before each game! There’s also a Finals Day for those who excel in their “section” (there are 4 sections around the GTA).

Who can participate? Women curlers with less than 10 years of experience who play Lead or Second positions in league play. You can participate in the Mini Majors for up to 7 years.

The cost for the four eight-end games, with tea, coffee and snacks before each game, and a lunch after one of the games remains unchanged at $50. There is an additional cost for those who qualify for the Finals Day.

The tentative schedule includes:

• Monday, November 6 (8:30-11:00 am) at Unionville Curling Club
• Friday, December 1 at Thornhill Golf & Country Club
• Monday, January 22, 2024 at Tam Heather Curling
• Finals Day is Tuesday, March 5, 2024 at Leaside Curling Club

Good News. Tam Heather is going to have the vendor sale at our Women’s Christmas bonspiel on November 18th.

I know this is late notice but was wondering if anyone would like a table to sell your wonderful products. This has always been my favourite part of the bonspiel and I’m glad that we are reinstating this great tradition.

Please email me and let me know if you would like a table. The cost of the table this year will be $15. We will be advertising the vendor sale on the sign outside the curling club and will need at least 10 table to make this event happen.

If you know of anyone else in your crafting community that would be interested in this event, feel free to forward my email to them.

Please contact me by October 23rd if you are interested. Email me if you have any questions.

I’m looking forward to see all of you again and purchasing some great gifts.

Thanks
Vicki Shaw

With a little bit of preparation before the season, and before each game you have the opportunity to lower this risk. This document is going to provide you with some resources to help you over the next few weeks heading into your season starts, to help make getting into the hack, sliding on the ice, and brushing your rocks more comfortable and enjoyable.
