The Monday Mixed has two rounds of 12 games each. We place people in positions they are most comfortable playing and establish evenly balanced teams. We do not put a husband and wife on the same team. After the first round we redistribute all players so that you do not play with the same people for the second round. We are about social fun, meeting people yet playing the game we love. The Monday Mixed will start at 9:30 AM.
We have two banquets each year, at Christmas and at Year-End, where both leagues get together to celebrate. Your fees do cover both banquets.
If you do not know how to curl we will train you at no cost as we welcome all.
You can contact Lyle Dahl (780-464-3396 or ledahl@telus.net) for the Tuesday/Thursday Mens or Monday Mixed.
