Team Peterson Wins MCT/WCT Atkins Classic

: Paul Batchelor

Following four days of high level competition, showcasing 21 top female teams representing Japan, Scotland, USA and Canada, AMCC's Team Peterson drew the button for a 7-6 win over defending champions Team Robertson thereby earning a cheque for $4,000.

(To no surprize) the hardworking staff and 30 or so volunteers delivered another first class event at the Home Of Champions. Title sponsor, Atkins Curling Supplies, and the many partner sponsors were very generous in providing the level of financial support commensurate with attracting teams competing for cash and acquiring points to improve their standings on the MCT, WCT and CTRS. Rob's expert assistance, both in planning and executing the Event, was instrumental in achieving the desired results.

Although spectator support (particularly from the Club membership) could have been better, the Event nevertheless generated fairly decent revenues for future utilization by the Club. Atkins Curling Supplies may be returning to the AMCC for an even bigger and better event in the 2017/18 curling season.

Some Make Ice While Others Make Merry

: Paul Batchelor

Saturday, 17 Sep was a very busy day at the AMCC. While Matt and his hardworking crew continued with ice installation for the season ahead, a 90th Birthday party for Evelyn Gordon (President AMCC Ladies 1981-82) took place in the upper lounge.

The AMCC was extremely pleased to be given the opportunity to host this special occasion attended by some 135 guests of all ages representing Evelyn's large family as well as her many friends and acquaintances. Many successful curlers, particularly from the Gordon/Peterson families, were in attendance and did a superb job in setting up and tearing down the lounge following a few hours of wonderful family stories, socializing and fellowship. Mrs Gordon was presented with complimentary event passes to the Atkins Classic (14-17 Oct 2016) which will feature members of her curling family.

A thank you note from two of our Stick Curling members (2016 Manitoba Stick Curling Champions) was also received during the club's September board meeting:
