The last bonspiel of the season was held February 20th to 22nd. The Combined Spiel had 14 teams on both the Women's and Men's sides. Action started on Friday with not only opening draws, but an Appy Party with lots of tasty treats from both our curlers and from Oliver Eats, one of our sponsors. Curling continued all day Saturday, with an evening meal catered by Savvios. 50/50 draws and a raffle ran over both days, and the lucky winners were announced Saturday night.
Sunday was all about the curling. Both Women's and Men's finals were held on Sunday. The winner of the Women's A event was the Gresley-Jones team from Rosslan
