The SCC hosted its annual Springbank Ladies Open Bonspiel Jan. 14-16,2022. The bonspiel was full with 24 teams representing various clubs from Calgary and other areas of the province. It was a weekend of great curling and good sportsmanship with the curlers thrilled to once again be participating in a bonspiel. Everyone had an entertaining evening at the Saturday banquet “Black & White with a Splash of Color”, complete with several creative team costumes. The women were treated to tasty appetizers and a delicious chicken dinner including dessert, catered by our Springbank Ice Breaker Lounge. Ben Lochet and his staff worked hard all weekend to provide exceptional service and food.
Congratulations to our Winners:
A Event: Dupont Team (Lethbridge Curling Club)
B Event: Foster Team (Various clubs from Calgary)
C Event: Salyn Team (Calgary CC)
Notable mention: 2 teams from Springbank made it to the Semi-Finals, Masse Team and Tuor Team. Well-done Teams!
