Beausejour Ladies Bonspiel

The Beausejour Ladies Bonspiel is being held on Feb 7-8, 2025. See the poster above for more details or go the event page by clicking here.

Spares and Make-up Games

During the season, teams may have one or more players who are unable to play due to conflicts. If this happens, teams should find spares or play with 3 person teams. Any player who is a member of the club can spare for other teams. Non-members must pay a $7 spare fee/game. This can be paid to Lucy at the bar.

If teams can’t find enough spares to ice at least 3 players, then please contact the opposing skip to cancel a game. Make-up games can be rescheduled for Monday evenings. Please contact our icemaker, Todd Evecsyn to ensure ice is available. Please note that make-up games are a last resort and every effort should be made to play games on league nights as scheduled.

Provincials Bound

Congratulations to the following two teams from the Beausejour Curling Club who have qualified for provincial championships this year:

Team Richter - qualified for the Viterra Mens Provincial Champtionship at the Eastern regional qualifier held in Stonewall. The Viterra Championship will be held in Portage la Prairie in February.

Team Ewasko - qualified for the Strathcona Senior Mens Provincial Champtionship at the Eastern regional qualifier held in Beausejour (along with Team Boehmer from Petersfield). The Strathcona Championship will be held in East St. Paul in March.

Good luck to both teams.

Volunteer Opportunities

Ladies Bonspiel bar volunteers - Feb 7-8

Ecole Edward Schreyer School and the Beausejour Curling Club are hosting the Manitoba High School Provincial Curling Championships on Feb 13-15, 2025 (Thursday to Saturday). We are looking for volunteer timekeepers to assist with this event (the high school will also be providing some volunteers). A total of 62 timekeeper shifts need to be filled between the two groups. There are evening shifts on Thursday and Friday as well as shifts on Saturday for those of you who work during the day. Training will be provided. Two timekeeping shifts will satisfy your volunteer bond for the year. If you are interested in this job, please email the coordinator Brigitte Goertzen at b.goertzen@me.com and let her know when you are available. Brigitte will be in touch once training has been scheduled.

Note that all bartenders must have their Smart Choices certificate to be behind the bar. Helpers without a certificate can clear glasses but must not be behind the bar at any time. You must have your certificate on you during your shift. Volunteers doing bar shifts should bring their certificates to Lucy (our bar manager) who will take a photo of it and keep it in a binder at the bar. Serving It Safe certificates now expire after 5 years so make sure yours is current. Any bar questions should be directed to the bar manager.

If you wish to take your Smart Choices certification, click here for more information. Once you have completed the course, give a copy of your certificate and a copy of your receipt to the club treasurer (currently Donna Ray-Litke) and the club will reimburse you for the cost of the course.

Board Secretary Required

We are still in need of a secretary to fill out our Executive for the Board of Directors. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Jarrett at sjpowers@mymts.net.

Beausejour Mens Bonspiel

The Beausejour Mens Bonspiel is being held on Jan 10-12, 2025. See the poster above for more details or go the event page by clicking here.

Two-Person Stick Bonspiel Full

We are currently at our maximum of 24 teams for the 2-person stick bonspiel being held on Jan 31-Feb 1.

We are still taking names for a waiting list in case any teams have to withdraw. Please email the club at beausejourcurlingclub@gmail.com to get your name on the waitlist. Do not send payment until requested.

No-Tick Rule

It was decided by the Board last year that the “no-tick” rule would be implemented for both league play and bonspiels beginning at the start of the 2024-2025 season. The rule is as follows:

If, prior to the delivery of the sixth stone of an end, a delivered stone causes, either directly or indirectly, an opposition stone in the Free Guard Zone (FGZ) which is touching the centre line to be moved to an off-centre line position, the non-offending team has the option to:

(i) remove the delivered stone from play, and replace all stones that were displaced to their positions prior to the violation taking place; or

(ii) leave all stones where they came to rest.

If a stone is touching at least part of the centre line marking, it is considered on the centre line.

We are a 6-sheet club located in the Beausejour Sportsplex in Beausejour, Manitoba.

We have evening leagues for men, ladies, and mixed teams. There is drop-in curing every Tuesday morning for those looking for a little fun and exercise as well as a 2-person stick curling league on Thursday afternoons. Finally, we operate an After-School curling program on Mondays for children in grades 4 to 8. We are also the host facility for the Curling Academy program run by École Edward Schreyer School for kids in grades 9 to 11.
