As President for the 2010/11 season, it gives me great pleasure to
welcome new and returning curlers to West Kildonan C. C.
for another exciting year. I’d also like to thank you
for visiting this website, in hopes that it informs you
of whatever it is you are looking for.
Summer is almost over and it’s that time again,
the start to another season!
Now in
its 3rd year our Cash League (Tuesday
nights) has become the place for high calibre curlers. Competing for a cash prize
sponsored by TD Canada Trust Mortgage Sales Force,
Peter Jarmasz. A sponsorship with great rewards which
makes it a top notch league!
We have confirmed the Senior City Zones (Men's
& Women's) at the end of November. Also the Masters
during the daytime in December. Even though
curling is an old sport it goes to show that no matter
how old or young you are, it’s still a sport that age
has no boundaries.
So with that said, on behalf of West Kildonan C.
C. I invite you to come check us out and learn all you
can about this special place. Where we applaud talent,
dedication and commitment of members old and new making
it a place you can always call home!
Keep the tradition alive, honor the game by enjoying the sport.
Good luck and good curling.
See you at the club!
Sincerely,
-
Edward Turchyn

Calcutta Night
Calcutta Night is an open auction with
multiple teams including our club teams
entered in this years Bonspiel. Bidding
begins in random order with only one entrant
being bid upon.
An interesting element of Calcutta Night
is in determining an appropriate wager for
each team, as the payoff will directly hinge
on the size of the pot and thereby the size
of the bids being placed. Thus the value of
each team fluctuates during the course of
betting.

CBC -
Throwing Stones -
We couldn't be more proud of our little
half-hour domestic drama. It'll make you
laugh, cry and want to run out and grab a
beer with your best friends. It stars
Academy Award winner Patty Duke, Gemini
Award nominees Lolita Davidovich and
Caroline Neron, as well as Barbara Radecki
and Stephanie Anne Mills.
A bit about the show...
Meet Patti, Shirley, Annette, Cindy and
Marge – Five very different women just
trying to stay afloat amidst the chaos of
life: demanding children, high-maintenance
husbands, mortgages that keep them awake at
night, uninspiring jobs, and all the
challenges that come from being a wife, a
mother and more significantly, a woman.
They’re working class women who do it all
and more. And they’re just desperate for a
little me time. They are the real desperate
housewives.
BUT…all is forgotten, all is left behind
when they are together, playing, training,
and competing for their true love…curling.
They are proud members of the West Kildonan
Curling Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Don’t
worry – this is NOT a show about curling.
For our women, curling is just their escape,
their girls’ night out and, frequently, a
metaphor for life.
Directed by the brilliant Mario Azzopardi
(acclaimed director of “ZOS: Zone of
Separation”) and writers Lara Azzopardi and
Julia Cohen, Throwing Stones is a show about
life, love, and the power of friendship.
Throwing Stones was produced by Mario
Azzopardi, Lara Azzopardi, Julia Cohen and
Kim Todd (Original Pictures).
We are SO proud of this pilot and, although
it will not become a series because the CBC
has decided not to program half-hour dramas,
we want as many people as possible to tune
in and watch it on July 15. Please pass this
on to anyone you know and help us get the
word out. And feel free to send your
feedback to the CBC! (http://www.cbc.ca/contact/)
In October Capital One approached us to shot
a commercial at the club. It was with great
pleasure that we offer them our
establishment. What an honor!
