Game Duration - Correction

It is with our deepest regret that we announce that our leauge member, Steve Jamieson, has lost his brave fight against cancer this past Wednesday. Steve was friends with many of our league members, both on and off the ice. For those who had the opportunity to play with Steve, you'll know what an excellent curler and respectful sportsman he was. His passing is a significant loss, not only to our curling family, but to the community at large. We send our thoughts and prayers to Steve's family and his many friends.

With less than a month to go before the start of the 2009-10 season, it is time to say goodbye to summer and gear up for another year of Rainbow Rockers curling!!

MEET & GREET and FEE PAYMENT DEADLINE

Join the Rainbow Rockers at the Lookout on Thursday, September 17 from 7-9 PM for our annual Meet and Greet. This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow curlers, get a sneak peek at the schedule and most importantly, finalize your registration. Our treasurer, Steve Horwood, will be on hand to collect the balance of the $200 registration fee ($150).

Please note a new section called "Game Duration" has been added to the League Rules of Play. All players and especially all skips should be familiar with these rules.
