WCC MEMORIAL SPIEL 2024
The WCC Memorial spiel was held Dec 7 ,2024 with 12 teams participating. This Spiel would not happen without the hard work of the committee Linda Nette-Food, Debbie Boutilier Food procurer, Fred Crouse-Auctioneer, Audrey Dorey-Draw, Chris Rushton Communications, Steve Mattson Registration and Betty Mattson Chair/MC.
The first teams were on the ice at 0830 playing 4 ends. Our memorial Recognizing and Remembering the contributions of WCC members who have passed began at 0930 with opening remarks from our President Joe Price and the lighting of the Memorial candle. Many wonderful tributes were presented to a packed house to honour, Honorary member Bill Thompson, Kathy Johnson, Wally Humphreys and Richard Foot.
The Ice Honorary Rock throwers were Ken Pick, Bev Girvan, Nelda Humphreys and Peter Selig saluted our members with the throwing of rocks on the sheets lined by our teams.
Twelve teams competed for the Memorial Plaque. Draw Chair Audrey Dorey threw in a few surprises on the end of the second game. Congratulations to the winners Team Boutilier-Brian Boutilier, Betty Mattson, Danny Silver and Geri Comeau. Awarded a prize for the best-dressed Team was Team Holland. They looked spiffy!
The food auction was great fun with competing bids. One of Ellen Stirling’s Coconut meringue Pie went for $100, Angela Merritts’s delicious 3 dozen homemade rolls for $45 and Connie Bishop’s homemade cream puffs $50. There were so many delicious goodies, cannot mention them all. Thanks to all contributors to our auction.
The money raised at this spiel will certainly assist in our Revitalization project chaired by Fred Crouse, and Project Manager Brian Boutilier. In 2025 it is planned to have a lift to the second floor and an accessible bathroom. Thanks, everyone for attending and contributing to the history of the Wolfville Curling Club!
