Hi Folks:
This is the first of weekly messages designed to communicate all sorts of details regarding Humber Senior’s Curling and to keep the need for announcements before going out on the ice to a minimum!
This morning, my wife, Susan, and I were watching our church service on YouTube and the main subject of the sermon was GRATITUDE. So, the main focus for this message today is to communicate GRATITUDE to all those who made the start of the Humber Seniors Curling Season successful.
- To our Executive – for staying patient as they navigated COVID protocols and the changing environment from St. Goerge’s to Mississaugua
- To Bob Hand, John Page and Joe Caruso for signing us up as members, looking after the cheques, and for creating our 2021/2022 membership list
- To Joe Caruso – for looking after all the details to get us sorted out with QR Codes , schedules, leagues and the Humber Senior’s website
- To Bob Hand – for looking after the name badges (Bob has received the order so see Bob, Bruce Wither or Joe Caruso if you ordered one)
- To our Draw Committee (Hugh Goodwillie, Bruce Wither, John Rudd, & Joe Caruso) for the time and effort to put our first series together
- To our Vice-President, Doug Martin, for taking on the responsibility of the Christmas and Spring Luncheons (also, to Bob Harris for looking after prior luncheons for so many years)
- To Tom Erwin and Joe Caruso for coordinating our visits to Flowertown and Dixie
- To ALL Humber Senior’s Curlers for being patient and understanding during the first two weeks at Mississaugua and for your ongoing support as we get up and running!
As we start our 2nd week of our first series, please be reminded that we are still under COVID protocols. We are also reminded that, for most of us, we have not curled in two years and we may be a little unsteady on our feet and we may feel sore in our unused muscles! So, please be careful on the ice, and if possible, wear a helmet or safe headgear. We’re not getting any younger!!!
Regarding the pace of play, it was slower than normal during our first week because we were getting used to where to stand and maintain social distancing on the ice. We are hopeful that we can speed up the pace of play so that we can all get 7 ends in before game’s end. Please be ready to get on the ice at 9:25 a.m. so we can start on time.
Lastly, please mark Tuesday, December 14th, on your calendar for our Christmas Luncheon at the Canadiana Restaurant (Six Points). Lunch is $25 (including HST and gratuities). More details to come.
Good Curling,
Duncan.
