Jan 27 Update: Plans to transition to ORANGE phase

 Curling in ORANGE Level

As we approach the possibility of our region reverting back to ORANGE Level, the Safety Committee of the SCC is looking for expressions of interest to curl.

Under NB Dept. of Health ORANGE guidelines, curling is permitted provided it is not regular league play. Essentially, bubbles of up to 8 curlers are formed and this group is permitted to practice and develop skills.  Members can participate in only one bubble and no spares are permitted. This bubble remains throughout the ORANGE Level. Reverting to YELLOW Level permits regular league play to resume.

Under ORANGE Level protocols, masks must be worn at all times. Lockers rooms and the bar would remain closed. Members would be encouraged to come ready for curling except for donning your shoes and then depart immediately upon conclusion of your practice/play.

Would this type of practice/playing be of interest to you?

Please do not reply to this email but rather send your response to sccmembership@eastlink.ca if interested or if you need more information. 

If you want to play/practice with specific people, please include that information.  We will try and ensure you are in the same bubble.

Curling times are going to be weekdays at 10am and evenings at 6:30pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your preference and we will work on creating the appropriate bubbles.

ORANGE phase Game Play Protocol is in our COVID section

Jan 28 Update re: Pending transition to ORANGE phase

2021,01,28

 Dear Members,

Thanks to those who have responded. We are working on your requests and suggestions and may connect with you to clarify specific points. It has been pointed out that a number of those who have already responded would like to curl more than once per week.  If  this applies to you and you already sent a note to the SCC Membership email, could you please update it with your available times and days? 

If you haven't responded, we hope we have provided enough information for you to decide if you want to participate under ORANGE. If you do, please email  sccmembership@eastlink.ca including the dates and times you would be available and we will see if there are others we can bubble with you. And if two or more want to be bubbled together, just let us know and we will see what can be done. 

We do need all interested members to let us know by noon on Sunday Jan 31 please. We will need to give Myles time to tune up the ice as we would like to be ready to curl as soon as we revert to ORANGE.

Thanks for your patience as we work through this time of uncertainty.

President Tom & Safety Committee

The McLellan Cup

 The McLellan Cup is the oldest men's Club Challenge Trophy in curling in the Maritime provinces. It has been continuously played for since 1907.

The trophy was first competed for in an Inter-Provincial Bonspiel between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia at Moncton in 1887. After being played for in this form for a number of years, it was found too difficult to arrange the annual event and it was agreed to make the Cup a Challenge Trophy. The first recorded challenge match in the documentation was on Jan 8, 1907 in Truro between Truro and Halifax. In the early days teams played 21 ends to declare a winner. Over time, it became 18 ends and now stands at 14 ends being played by the teams to declare which club will go on to the next challenge. 

This historic trophy was the gift of the Hon. David McLellan , who at that time was a member of the Legisiative Council of New Brunswick.
