Presidents Report: Pre-season Status Update

For those wanting to know when curling starts, skip to the second paragraph of this section.  [BEGIN BERT'S RANT: No really, any information contained within the square brackets is completely useless information, and will not affect your life in any meaningful way.  Why would I write it then you ask?  Well, I maintain the club's website, and I can pretty much write whatever I want.  Chuck Lorre has his vanity cards, just check out an episode of Big Bang Theory (Thanks Marry).  Anyway, why are you still reading, especially on this website which contains no flash animation, and has no link to like us on facebook.  The website is built on old technology, and looks terrible by today's standards.  The upside is that it does not cost the club a cent, and at least provides some basic information.  So don't expect a fancy upgrade anytime soon.  Where was I? Right, now I remember why I was doing this update.  It looks as though the ice will be ready by October 17th for the start of the Monday League, and October 20th for the start of the Thursday League.  Practice ice should be available on the 19th from 7-9pm.  For those that may complain that there is no practice ice before the Monday league starts, I will provide you with some reassurance.  Since the Monday league seems to be a little more competitive than Thursday's league (only because we all want to beat Floyd), take comfort in knowing that most of the Monday crew (with the possible exception of Floyd) are on the same caliber of play as Jeff Stoughton (minus the Manitoba tuck delivery), and should all easily be able to draw the button at will without having Ben Hebert and Marc Kennedy sweeping for them.  Therefore no practice should be required.  Practice is really only for the curling geeks like the club's president and icemaker.  I mention Jeff Stoughton, as he is last year's Brier and world champ, although I am a Kevin Martin fan myself.  Don't even get me started on Randy Ferbey. Did I mention that Floyd will be back to contend for the Thursday league title? I really have no idea where this is going so I will just stop at this point.  I can't imagine anyone reading this anyway. Oh wait, for the three formula one fans in Grande Cache, the Japanese Grand Prix is on this weekend. Sebastian Vettel needs one point in the next five races the clinch the drivers championship. END BERT'S RANT]

Here is the league start information. Monday League starts on the 17th, and Thursday league starts on the 20th.  Practice ice should be available on the 19th from 7-9pm.  As of October 8th, registration for both leagues will be open to anyone.  Thursday league will be limited to 16 teams, Monday league will be capped at 8 teams, unless we are able to get 12 or more teams for Monday.  Junior curling will likely begin October 26th. A registration form is available below.  Don't forget the get the word out about the club's 40th Anniversary cashspiel!
