Process • A visiting member shows their membership card to the draw-master and is given a “Guest” Tag. (Qualicum has some Parksville specific tags.) • The visitor writes name, skill level (L – Lead/Second; T – Third; S – Skip) and club identifier (P or QB if needed) on Tag and hands it back to draw-master. • The Draw will occur normally with the draw-master ensuring a good mix of guests and locals. • Visiting skips may be offered skip positions at the discretion of the draw-master. Here is the initial list of weekly open draws offered under this arrangement.

Miscellaneous

We will be holding a coaching clinic on July 14 at 1:00.

The clinic is for all members of all skills. We will be discussing the role of the ‘third’ or vice skip. Topics discussed, but not limited to, will be the role and duties of the vice, what and how to communicate with your skip, making decisions on who is shot, etc. We will then go outside to discuss what could be played with the various sample heads that will be set up. You will not need any equipment. Bring any questions you may have.

Sign up below or there is a sign up sheet at the club on the coaching bulletin board (the first one as you come into the sunroom).
