Seniors Floor Curling tournament a success

The Whitecourt Seniors Circle Floor Curling Tournament was held on Thursday.  The Semi-Annual event has been held since the new building was built in 2000/2001.  16 teams with four players each, competed in three different match ups.  The top four teams received a cash prize from $40 to $100 per team.

 

Tournament Coordinator and Director with the Senior’s Circle, Conrad Harty, said it’s a great event that seniors look forward to.  He also wanted to thank Tim Hortons for providing coffee and treats to the competitors.

 

Edson resident Ron Scott, who travelled to Whitecourt to take part, said it was a great day out.  “This is a beautiful place and the food is excellent.  It’s lots of fun.”

 

The activity is challenging, incorporating both strategy and stone control, while remaining relatively low-impact.  It’s also fun and engaging, offering a new way to stay active and socialize at the same time.  Floor Curling happens weekly on a regular basis, every Monday at the Seniors Circle.

 

Upcoming events at the Seniors Circle include the Christmas Dinner on December 17th.  Call Betty 780-778-3707 or Mabel 780-778-6632 for more information and to get tickets.
