Celebrating 150 Years of Curling in Keene!!

The Club is celebrating it's 150 year anniversary this year and to commemorate the occasion we are having an outdoor curling bonspiel on Saturday February 12th!  The idea, first suggested by Nikki N., has been met with tremendous enthusiasm.  Dick E.  has been working hard planning (and shoveling) in addition to preparing a documented history of Curling in Keene  which will be available for perusal in the Club Lounge.  Michael G. is organizing the collection of old stones while Conrad B. has offered to paint the rings!  Many club members are chipping in and as the idea grows so too does the list of people wanting to help make this celebration one to remember!

One sheet is being prepared for games on the Indian River north of the bridge on County Road #2 just East of Keene.  A second half sheet will be available for fun!  Four-end games are being scheduled so you'll need to sign a team up on the board in the Club Lounge if you want to play.  Cost is $10/person and includes a bowl of Chili served in the warming space at the Club.  Registration will take place at the Curling Rink.  Be sure to get there early so you can get down to the ice in time for your games!

Parking by the river is limited so we are asking people to park up at the Arena and either car pool down or walk down to the River.

The Club will be open during the day to provide a respite from the cold and Chili and Hot Dogs will be on sale for $3 per bowl for non-curlers.  Hot cider and hot chocolate will be available at a refreshment tent on the ice (at the river).

The Club is also having special pins made to commemorate the occasion.  these will be sold to any and all interested persons for $5 each.
