The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling and Princess Auto are running a challenge within Toronto Curling Association clubs as to who can sell the most tickets for the 2023 Princess Auto Players’ Championship.

The top 4 clubs (one from each membership grouping, based on size) with the most ticket sales will be given the opportunity to play one of their club finals on Grand Slam ice at Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto following the Friday night draw of the 2023 Princess Auto Players’ Championship!  Each week for the next four weeks, standings will be updated weekly.  If our club wins – we will be able to select any game, whether a club final or rematch of a final to play on the Grand Slam ice - Tam teams to be determined. Winners will be announced Monday, April 3rd.

Calling on our Tam Fam to purchase tickets for this event and possibly win the opportunity to have one of our Club Championship games played on the Pinty's Grand Slam ice at the Mattamy Athletic Centre.

Eric Downer Stick FUNspiel

Thank you and Congratulations to the 41 curlers that took part in the Eric Downer Stick FUNspiel on Monday, March 6, 2023. By all accounts the participants had a great time and found using a stick to be both challenging and a lot of fun. The Chez Damiano, Ninth End Bar, and Tam Pro Shop Draw Prize Coupons that 26 of the 41 curlers won have already been used by some of the winners. A reminder that coupons are good until the end of this curling season. A new option of curlers sharing a position has now been used by some of our players who would rather play one 8 end game. To do this you just find another player who plays the same position, sign up in one box on the signup sheet and one plays the early game, has lunch, and one has lunch and plays the late game. The cash prize is then split between the 2 curlers.

Congratulations goes to the 2023 Eric Downer Stick Funspiel Championship TEAM HILLS with team members Don Hills, Ray Cockburn, Doug Best and Steve Rosen. Their team photo is posted on the tagboard and a shield has been engraved and put on the trophy in our Venerables trophy case.

This Bonspiel is in memory of all our Venerables Curling Club members who have passed away over the years. A special ceremony will be held to honour those who have passed away since our last Memorial Bonspiel.

At this Bonspiel your new Venerables Board of Directors for 2023 - 2024 will be introduced.

The Bonspiel will cost $25.00 per person and includes coffee, muffins, two 8 end games, lunch, cash prizes and a trophy presentation to the winning team. The sign up sheets for this Bonspiel will be put up on the tagboard from Tuesday, March 21st to Friday, March 31st. Don't forget you can sign up together with another curler if you would prefer to curl one game vs two games.

One last point is that we as a committee are always looking for your feedback, suggestions, and comments in an effort to make your Bonspiels reflect your needs and wants. All feedback from you as members will be discussed by our committee and you will receive a response.

Hope to see everyone at the upcoming Bonspiels!

Hello Tam Heather Members,

After much manual snow shoveling and amazing team work, we are pleased to announce the return to play for all tennis activity starting Monday, March 6th at 7:00 a.m.

At this point in time, enough of the snow has been removed from the west side of the bubble and the bubble has almost returned to its original shape. There is a small amount of TLC still required, but there are currently no safety risks and we are ready to return to play- GAME ON!!

Special thanks to the Tam Heather maintenance team, ice team, tennis coaches and board member, Neil Finlayson- these people deserve a big round of applause!

We have filled all the volunteer spots for March 18th!!

The Toronto Blind Curling Club would like to thank everyone who has volunteered to help out. Those who have volunteered, will be contacted by the organizers with more details and information.

The west side of the tennis bubble has collapsed due to snow load.

Tennis is cancelled until further notice
