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?

The Blarney Stone,

Ladies Invitational Bonspiel

March 15 & 16, 2025

Four ladies went curling for fun
And wished that they could have won one.
They came to Baddeck
Couldn't curl worth a heck
And settled instead for the rum!
