2021 TURKEY SPIEL – 2 Days Fri 11/26 & Sat 11/27

Hello Fellow Curlers,

Last year we missed the opportunity to get together in November to kick off the curling bonspiel season.  While we understand the reasons for the cancellation, we want to gather THIS YEAR and hopefully start a new tradition of a Turkey Spiel that will replace the Fabulous Fireball 500.  The Fireball has been a favorite bonspiel for a fun and competitive curling weekend.  While this year has to be simpler and focused on getting together, we will make sure that future years are filled with more sponsors, activities, and prizes. 

Help us keep the tradition of having the St. Paul Curling Club full of our curling families on Thanksgiving weekend.

Covid Mitigation Strategy:

In light of the recent Covid surge and results from an earlier bonspiel, we have decided to implement some strategies to mitigate any spread.  We understand these ideas may or may not be successful and may or may not hinder our ability to have a fun.  We have to start somewhere and figure out a way to have safe and fun Bonspiels.  You don’t have to like these rules (we definitely don’t) but everyone needs to abide by them. 

• All Curlers must be vaccinated
• Non member guests are not allowed inside during the Bonspiel
• Max amount of teams is 16
• Only 4 games on the ice at one time
• Designated tables for each sheet of ice
• No buffet style food, you will have service to your table
• Please mask when you can even if it’s only a small amount of time. We don’t expect people to be masked while eating, drinking or curling
• No large group activities such as boat races, meat raffles or auctions

Registration Deadline:  Friday November 19, 2021

If you are unable to register online but would like to participate, please send an email to Jason Folken (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) with your team name and primary contact information so that we can add you to the draw schedule.

Thank you and Good Curling,
