Looking for something to do this Sunday afternoon? Our ice crew is looking for some assistance with the last steps to get our ice ready for Learn to Curl this week. We are looking for:
- A couple more volunteers at 1pm to help with a flood (for a couple of hours)
- A few folks at 5pm to help move rocks (about half an hour, though more help means faster work)

If you're available, please just come by the club and we'll put you to work!

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us at the Annual General Meeting earlier this week. What an amazing night!

First and foremost, we got a chance to celebrate and thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their fantastic ongoing support of our curling club the with a $16,800 Capital Grant! This funding helped us to complete reconditioning of our rocks, which we were able to do just before the season begins this Fall. We are so very grateful for the support, and we can't wait to put our rocks back into action this Fall.

We also got the opportunity to congratulate Ted Lister for receiving this year’s lifetime membership award! Ted has been a valuable member of the Hamilton Victoria Club since 1999, and has, in that time, contributed a tremendous amount both to, and on behalf of, the Vic. Ted has served on the Board of Directors, started the club’s Special Olympics league in 2004, and represented us as a volunteer at many Districts events, among many, many more roles. Ted is a dedicated and tirelessly helpful presence in both our and the broader curling community.

After so much worth celebrating, we are feeling so excited for our season to begin!
