The Annual Schooner Closing Spiel was held from April 25-27 at the club and was a great success. It saw a total of fourteen teams taking part, six in the Thursday/Saturday division and eight on the Friday/Saturday side. Each team played their first game on their respective night and then played two games on Saturday. It was a long day of curling that started in the morning and didn't finish until late into the evening but, fueled by subs from Subway Restaurants and other goodies, everyone made it through. The winners were actually decided before the final scheduled games took the ice after the Stephen Leslie rink had amassed enough points with a win in their final game, the second last scheduled for the day, so that no one could catch them in the standings. Skip Leslie was joined by Jill Ramsay, Mary Lou Andrea and Cynthia Boutilier. For first place they received a gift bag provided by Subway that contained a gift card, a foldable picnic blanket and other items. They also received a gift card of their choice from a variety of the club's sponsors. Congratulations to you all. Second place went to Kevin Gouthro, Julia Cormier, Jess Dilney and Tyler Curtis. The Richard Lorway and Brian Laughlin rinks tied for third with an equal point total and plus minus. Skip Lorway was joined by Bryant Cormier, Alison Grapes and Georgette Sparkes while skip Laughlin had Kelley Laughlin, Justin Humphrey and Ray Smith. Rounding out the top five was the John Donovan rink who finished two points behind Laughlin and Lorway with two ties in their three games. Skip Donovan was helped by Andy Pyke, Yvonne Donovan and Willie MacDonald. While Donovan finished with two ties, he was bested in that statistic by Wally MacDonald who finished with three ties in three games. MacDonald took sixth place.
It was a great closing weekend overall that featured not only lots of good curling but also lots of entertainment and fun with an Open Mic Night held on Friday and a dance held Saturday night. The Open Mic featured the club's president, Gordie Cormier along with his good friend Troy Allen who did a great job entertaining the crowd and playing backup to others who wanted to perform. On Saturday, a big crowd stayed around and partied late into the night to finish off the season. Saturday night also featured a barefoot button draw, something that has become a bit of a tradition a the club, that was won by Wally MacDonald after three rounds.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who took part in the spiel, especially those from outside of the Schooner membership, to Subway for supporting the club once again, to the spiel committee, the ice crew, the bartenders, cleaners and to everyone else who helped out in any way to make the Schooner Closing the fantastic event it was. It was truly a fitting end to such a wonderful season of curling and fun at the Schooner.
