Bonspiels
One of the most social things we do is a bonspiel.
A day of curling, eating, visiting, and, yes, even drinking...
what could be better? ​

2020/2021 Note:
Due to the pandemic, we are unsure how or if we will be going ahead with any of our bonspiels this year. We want to ensure we can do it safely for all involved before we try. An email will be sent to members and posted on our homepage, with information prior to any event we may try with our plans for a safe but fun day. Until then, join us in our regular leagues!
*All bonspiel information subject to change until two weeks before each event*

Stick curling is a skill.
All curlers can do it. Not all can do it well.
Plus, with two person teams,
there are no sweepers to blame!

The Blarney Stone,
Ladies Invitational Bonspiel

Four ladies went curling for fun
And wished that they could have won one.

Couldn't curl worth a heck
And settled instead for the rum!
