TCA Men's Survey
The TCA Men’s Goldline Committee is continually trying to find ways to both improve the bonspiel and generate greater participation. We would like feedback from both recent participants and non-participants and have created a short survey to get that feedback.
The survey can be found at http://starshot.polldaddy.com/s/2012-tca-men-s-curling-feedback. We would like responses by April 5.
Thanks for your help,
Bill Baker
Chairman, TCA Goldline Men's Committee

 Thank you from YCC’s Rink Shields
Competing in the Intermediate Women’s Provincials in Gananoque March 7 – 10, Rink Shields (Laurie, Lisa Rolfe, Trina Sweezie and Stephanie Hedger) were very proud to be representing the York Curling Club. We were humbled and grateful for the amazing support of our fellow YCC members as we received kind words of encouragement, wonderful gifts to support our journey and a great fan showing.
The competition started slow with the cancellation of our first game after the compressor broke down and a rain delay on day two as the ceiling leaked on the ice but when surrounded by fellow curlers and the great volunteers of Gan CC these bumps in the road just make for good stories and laughs sitting together around the table. Like the ice conditions, we too needed to find our stride in the start losing two nail biter games but we were not deterred and came back strong. The competition was exact and every game was a competitive one often coming down to last rocks! There are games you win and games you learn – we finished tied for third with a solid 3-4 record and are grateful for the experience and knowledge gained at this event. We look forward to the seizing the opportunity to return to a Provincial in the future.
A very special thank you to our sponsors and the Monday Ladies Team Entry League. |

Openings for New YCC Board Members
It is that time of the year when change occurs on your Board of Directors. This year the following directors from the York Board are stepping down: Kent Milford, Linda Potter and Shirley Charles. On behalf of the membership we thank these individuals for giving of their time and energy to our Club!
Looking forward we will need new members to step up to help complete our Board for the 2012-13 season. If you are interested and would like more information regarding the responsibilities involved please contact one of our present Board members (Kent Milford, Bruce Orrell, Linda Potter, Shirley Charles, Gerry Schnurr, Janet Lewis, Randy Slade, Sid Smith, Karen Morrison, Joanne McAndrew, John Wallace or Marie Wallace). We will have four vacancies on the Board (this year we functioned one member short) and would like to begin our new season with a full complement.
This is a wonderful way to contribute to your Club’s future and take part in the decision making process here at York. |

 Wanted: Cleaner(s) for YCC
York is looking for someone to take over the cleaning responsibilities at the Club. Unfortunately, Jim Blue will not be returning next season in this position. A very big thank you to Jim for his dedication over the years! Matt Dodson, who has been assisting Jim the last couple of years, will also not be back next season. Matt, thanks for a job well done! We thought we would check within our curling family, before pursuing someone outside York, to see if we could fill the position. If you are interested please contact JoAnn Inouye at manager@yorkcurlingclub.ca or 905-898-2155. |

Rock Sponsorship!
As we are nearing the end of our 2011-12 curling season, it is time to think about “Rock Sponsorship” again! I have a list of all the rocks that are sponsored and we have 39 rocks still available. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get sponsors for all 96 York rocks!! Let’s make this our goal this summer. Sponsorship is $150.00. If you are interested please contact JoAnn at manager@yorkcurlingclub.ca or 905-898-2155. |
