Terry, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the first open house, and I hope
you can talk your friends into joining you for this one.

Once we start up regular play, we will be playing once a week and
for a couple "seasons" per year, each season being around 10 weeks
long. We will probably have some combination of league play and
pickup so that new curlers can get some instruction and experience
prior to signing up for a team.

See you Saturday night,
-Elliot
