The Les Fous du Roi (The King's Jesters) Curling Club will hold its 2010 bonspiel February 12 to 14 at the Longue-Pointe Curling Club. Host to major competitions because of it's great ice conditions, Longue-Pointe is the perfect venue for their fun weekend!

The organization that brought you the Nationals last year is at it again: one of Montreal's finest restaurants, Le Petit Extra, will be catering the Saturday night banquet at the renowned Lion d’Or, a great hall located in the Village.

We will be hosting our next Euchre night on Saturday, January 30th. We curl on Saturday, so shortly after the final game wraps up(around 8pm) we will begin the Euchre Tournament.

The format will be 6 games, with cash prizes going to the top winners and to the player with the most lone hands. Other prizes, donated by Moosehead, will be given to the first lone hand, the lowest over-all score, and the first King-Ace of Diamonds in Rumolli. Other prizes may be given out as we see fit. We just love giving out prizes.
