Leaping Leprechauns!  St. Paddy may have chased all the snakes out of Ireland but he left all the curlers in Oliver to have some fun on March 17!  The Oliver Curling Club held its annual Wind-Up BBQ Dinner and Awards on St. Paddy’s Day at the Eastlink Curling Centre.
The Oliver Curling Club’s new President, Dave McCombe, was the Master of Ceremonies at the BBQ that was well attended and enjoyed by the curlers.

Two award recipients show how curling is for ALL ages: Tyler Antunes for being an enthusiastic up-and-coming member as “The Younger” and Joyce Kuzyk continuing to contribute as “The Elder” on the Board (with Gail Barriskill presenting).

The following teams won in their respective leagues:
•Day League first session – Donna Cooke/Bob Hale/Mike Kelly/Randy Gushulak and Jan Campbell
•Day League second session – Donna Cooke/Bob Hale/Diane Cameron/Murray Soder/Reg Cameron
•Ladies League first session – Diane Tetreault/Pat Batchelor/Lisa Waines/Alesha Grimard
•Ladies League second session – Sylvia Lowe/Delfina Antunes/Colleen McCombe/Jean Lederer
•Mixed League A  Division– Bruce Schroter/Linda Schroter/Dave Arnold/Barb Barley

Curling is done for this season and most curlers are heading to the golf courses (where they are equally as good, or bad, at golf).  The Oliver Curling Club will be gearing up for another fun year of curling at the Eastlink Curling Centre in the fall—we hope you join us!
