AMCC Spring Cleanup

A big “thanks” to Wally Hamsey, Al Kohli, Carl Cummen , Gord Riddell, Bruce Wilkinson, Jim (Tall) Smith for joining Terry Brownlee and myself for the annual spring cleanup at the club on Monday, April 9th. We managed to finish the job just as the snow started and went inside to enjoy hot coffee and muffins. The help is greatly appreciated by the Board.

Director, Ice & House

The Ice Plant is turned off, the yellow and purple houses are disappearing and another season comes to close at the Home Of Champions. Although overall participation totals decreased slightly from previous seasons it was nevertheless a very busy, challenging and rewarding season. My sincere thanks to all members of the Board of Directors for their hardwork and support during my year as President. The flexibility demonstrated by the many League Convenors and members in utilizing the on line registration system, while modifying schedules in order to accomodate the many outside events, was much appreciated and of direct benefit to our operation. Once again the staff earned rave reviews for providing an excellent ice surface, well received food service and very courteous bar service. Congratulations to all league winners and well done to the many teams who represented us so well at outside events. I sincerely hope that everyone has a great off season and return to the AMCC in the Fall. In the meantime, please note the following reminders:

a. 7PM, Tues, 19 June 2012 Annual General Meeting and Mens Tues night early sign up, and

b. Join the Board of Directors and give something back to YOUR Club.

Thanks again

AMCC SENIORS/MASTERS FINISH SEASON ON A VERY POSITIVE NOTE

DAYTIME CHAMPIONSHIPS - Teams skipped by Marian Whalen and Lou Girard accumulated impressive win/loss records throughout round robin play only to lose out to St Vital and Fort Rouge in the final games of their respective Championship. Well done to members of both teams for their great showing at this increasingly competitive event.

INTER CLUB - For the third time in the past few years, AMCC captured the 55+ Interclub Championship with an impressive 8 win/2 loss record during the season culminating with a very decisive victory over West Kildonan in the final game. Many thanks to Roy Tunney, for his efforts in coordinating all aspects of the club's participation in this City Wide competition.

SENIOR SPIEL - AMCC teams did very well in this Open spiel; hilited by the Bruce Burton team advancing to the "A" Event final only to lose to the Hogg team from Stonewall, Lou Gorski team runners up in the "B" Event final and Wayne Johnson defeating club mate Barry Proctor in the "C" Event final. Special mention to Merv Kuruluk, Bruce Burton, Jim Smith, Al Mayor, George Archibald and Lorne Gregorash for their outstanding efforts in delivering a first class event. Curlers and all visitors were very impressed by the great ice, superb food and excellent bar service provided by the staff at the Home of Champions.

Organizers of the Wednesday Masters and Friday Seniors Leagues are owed a huge vote of thanks for putting together a great season on the pebbled surface featuring competitive curling in a relaxed, social atmosphere; albeit both leagues would benefit from some growth in the future.
