CARLYLE - Thirteen teams have entered the annual Carlyle Curling Club’s oilmen’s bonspiel, with two draws on tap this Friday night.

Play will continue throughout the weekend with the final games set for Sunday afternoon.

Each team is guaranteed four games. Friday night is banquet night with Rylan and Cindy Weir catering the meal. Saturday night is pizza and wings. Non-curlers are more than welcome to join. The bar will be open throughout the weekend.

Brandy East is one of the event organizers. “Our committee is pleased with the number of teams entered that includes rinks from Alida, Glen Ewen, Kisbey, Lampman and Pierson, Manitoba. The oilfield sponsorship has been strong and greatly appreciated.”

Winners of the three events will take home cash prizes, and all those participating will receive door prizes.

Many women are also employed in the industry and will be curling.

 “Thank-you to Michael Lothian, Robin Brown and David East for preparing the ice throughout the weekend,” said Brandy East. “Also, I want to thank Laura Thompson and Chaelynn Boutin, who helped with sorting the raffle tables and prizes. And, of course, thanks to all who will be participating.”
