Opening Bonspiel

Hello 2024-25 Perth Curlers


It’s that start of a new curling season and this will be a special one. 2025 will be the Perth
Curling Club’s 150 Anniversary and while we aren’t there quite yet we want to start the curling
year off with bang or rather a song.

The Maximilian’s Opening Bonspiel will take place on Oct. 18th & 19th . We will be celebrating the
musical talent of you fellow curlers. We’ll be using the recently purchased new audio system
to play the music you tell us you want to hear. Send in your favourite songs or artists and we’ll
get it on the playlist. It can be anything, rock, country, folk or chamber music just make sure
it’s something people can get up and dance too. People that send in a request will be entered
into a special draw.

Also we will be having karaoke on Friday evening and Saturday until 3:00 pm. Get up and
sing or play an instrument and your team will get an extra 2 points towards their final total
score for the bonspiel. If everybody on the team gets up and performs it will be an additional 8
pts for your team. That could be the difference between winning or losing the spiel. You’re
also encouraged to dress up as your favourite artist. You could be Bon Jovi, Waylen
Jennings, Madonna or Cindy Lauper. Again, there will be a prize for the best costume.
Friday night snack and Saturday lunch & dinner will once again be provided by our sponsor
Maximilians. Friday will be pretzels and honey mustard sauce. Sausage on a bun with
sauerkraut and mustard will be Saturday lunch while dinner will be Pork Paprikash
with butter mashed potatoes, carrots and Maximilian salad.

Two – 8 end games of curling with lunch, dinner and snacks and a chance to embarrass
yourself in front of your friends for $60 per curler or $25 just for dinner. Where can you get a
deal like this except at YOUR curling club.
Lorne Musselman from Let’s Rock Curling supplies will once again be set up at the club
(Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm) to help get you ready for the new season. Remember a
percentage of purchases will be donate back to the club by Lorne, so let’s support the local
guy.


The sign-up sheet will be in the newly renovated lobby on Oct. 1st . It’ll be a rock’n good time.
