Hi Folks:I hope you are enjoying watching some curling on TV as well as doing the real thing at MG & CC!THANK YOU for filling out the recent survey and for signing up for our 2nd Series.  Our Executive will be reviewing the results and we will share some of the info with you on our next Weekly Message.
In the meantime, there are three items that I wish to share with you:

• We have 14 NEW MEMBERS with us this year.  To our new members, WELCOME to Humber Seniors. I hope that you have felt comfortable in our midst and that you are enjoying the Humber Seniors experience.  Without you, Humber Seniors would not be curling at Mississauga this year! THANK YOU for joining us.
• We are looking for 2 members to fill out a team that plays at Flowertown on Mondays at 10:00 a.m. The Flowertown group have changed their times so the early start is a little later than their first series.  If you are interested, please e-mail Joe Caruso.
• Remember to sign up for our Christmas Luncheon at the Canadiana Restaurant (Six Points).  The date is Tuesday, December 14th and the cost is $25 (taxes and gratuities included). It is a GRRRRRRRREAT social time so we encourage all members to be there.  Please give your cheques payable to “Humber Seniors Curling Club”, or cash, to either Bruce Wither (Mondays and Wednesdays) or Duncan Macgregor (Fridays).
• Remember – there is no curling this Friday, November 12th

On November 11th, don’t forget to remember those who gave up so much so that we can enjoy our freedom as Canadians. May they rest in peace.

When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.                                                                                                                                   SHANNON L. ALDER.

Looking forward to seeing you on the ice,​

Duncan.

The TCA Goldline Men’s Championship has unfortunately been cancelled for 2022. The 2023 Goldline is scheduled for Jan 7-14, 2023 and we hope to see you all out next year!

Hi Folks:
We are pleased to report that Humber Seniors Curling is alive and well at Mississaugua Golf & Curling Club. Our 2nd series will start on November 29 (we curl on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9:30 a.m.). If you would like to join us for the 2nd and 3rd Series, the cost will be $600. Bob Hand will be happy to accept your registration or answer any questions regarding Humber Seniors Curling

If you know of any Senior who would like to curl this season, please pass this message along to them.

Hi Folks:
Our 2nd week of League Curling is now history! And, I am happy to report that – by all indications – our Humber Seniors season has started really well. During the first week, a lot of our games were only ending with 6 ends completed. However, in week 2, most games ended with 7 ends played with a few even getting 8 ends in the books. Well done! We can increase our efficiency even more by getting into the hack quickly at the start of each end and by having the skips move the rocks to the back while they are waiting for the end to finish. Remember, by playing 8 ends, more points are available! In addition, our members have been very responsible! There have been several incidences where a member has not been feeling well (sniffles, cold, etc.) and that individual has decided that it is best not to come to MG&CC just in case they infect others. Unselfish – you bet!!

Our second series will start on November 29th and end on February 11th. In the next few days, you will be receiving a questionnaire regarding our second series sign-up and it will also include some questions that will provide feedback to our Executive Team. You are required to complete the questionnaire by November 8th.

Practice Ice is available on sheet #6 on Monday and Wednesday mornings (9:30 – 11:30 a.m.). You do not have to sign up to use the practice ice, but you may have to share it with others who are also trying to hone their craft. You will still be required to use your QR code to sign in.

Our Christmas Luncheon will be on Tuesday, December 14th, at the Canadiana Restaurant (Six Points).
The cost per member is $25 (The cost of the meal is really $32, but HSCC is subsidizing $7 to encourage members to come to this event). Payment can be made by either cheque to “Humber Seniors Curling Club” or by cash (please put in envelope with your name on the front). Please give your payment to either Bruce Wither (Monday & Wednesday) or Duncan Macgregor (Friday).

Lastly, just some reminders about safety. The last thing we want is an accident. Although it would be nice to play 8 ends, please do not rush the process and throw safety aside. And, if you are not wearing head protection, we encourage all Humber Seniors to seriously consider it. We have already seen a fall that could have been very serious and a helmet saved a serious head injury. You only have one head and one brain so please use it! On the COVID front, our protocols are still in place. Please continue to social distance on the ice and have only one sweeper.

Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, “Never take candy from strangers.” and then they dressed me up and said, “Go beg for it!” RITA RUDNER.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND GOOD CURLING!
