• The green was plentiful at the UCC’s recent “When Irish Eyes are Smiling” bonspiel.  Green hair, mustaches, clothes, beer, parfaits, Jell-O shots and balloons all added to the merrymaking on St. Patrick’s Day.  Forty eight curlers participated and a delicious corned beef dinner was served and a good time was had by all.  Results.

• Results of the Rose bonspiel: Three game high: Chuck DelMonte rink, runner-up Don Knapp rink;  Two-game high: Dale Jones rink, runner-up Carl Thomas rink; One-game high: Brian Moore rink, runner-up Sue Williams rink. At the awards ceremony for the Rose, Mickey Haase was awarded a life-time honorary membership in the UCC for her contributions to the club and to curling.
