What’s happenin’ in the HOUSE:
Tonight: THE FINALS!! (& Prizes!)
- We really want to encourage everyone to come out on the finals tonight to watch some good curling, cheer on the finalists, enjoy some food and drink and some social time and applaud our winners upon the trophy presentations.
Next week:
- One more Newsletter – but no more curling ☹
Next YEAR:
- Sometimes this can be a tough time of the season in the lives of team curlers. Do we stay together? Do we find a new team? Who wants to be on a team? Will they get mad at me if I want to find another team? Just remember….. Be honest with yourself; be as honest as you can be with your team; know that curling is supposed to be not only a competitive but a fun sport too - not all teams were meant to last (just ask Darren Moulding!!). Sometimes it can be rough and sad to break up a team. Move on, move forward and enjoy the life learning.
- Evelyn is here to help if you are looking for a team to be part of, or looking for a new member - give her your name and she will help out the process by putting members in touch with each other. She won’t help you break up with a team though!!
- Evelyn also needs to know if you plan on returning next year. So email her as soon as you can if you are continuing with WNL in the 2023/24 season. Her email is: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
