350 forms have been mailed to former curlen in the club prospective curlers who have indicated an interest in taking up the game and others whom the committee has not had opportunity to interview i

behalf of the entire executive i want to extend a welcome to them and encourage their participation in the game and the- social events of the club this is not an exclusive club and there is no barrier of which i am aware on the basis of age race creed- color or social and economic standing if anyone wants to curl and he can find 15 he will be entitled to half a season of curling at this writing we anticipate that active curling will begin on monday and tuesday evenings nov 4 and 5 however everyone who applies for curling will be assigned by the draw committee to a rink which will curl at the time they prefer and the skip of each rink will be expected as in former years to notify the members of his rink of their playing positions on his rink and the actual date and time of the first game for new members we are again stressing the fact that instruction will be given for a halfhour each week for the first month the first instruction period is on monday nov 4th 630 to 7 pm in the acton community centre and former curlers will be just as welcome as the new ones to come and brush up on the details of the game you will learn for instance that the object of the game is for a rink of

20 to 132 feet away and to kbep them inside the house in spite of the efforts of the opposing rihk to remove them at the conclusion of artend of play an accurate tally is rnade of the number of stones of one rink nearer tb the centre of it than any stone of the other rink anil one point is awarded for each you will discover that each player has certain functions to perform in conjunction with his teammates and that his is a game in which courtesy and sociability are both given unusual prominence mr ted tyler sr chairman of the building committee intimates that quotations have now been secured from three contractors for the footings and foundantion walls of the new curling building and it is anticipated that hie work will be undertaken very soon the committee is studying a wide variety of proposals for various featuresvof the new rink and lounge and we believe that the completed building will be satisfactory to almost everyone no one can please everybody a final reminder please get
