CARDALE LADIES CURLING

Back in 1927, William McFarland and Ed Westbrook got
the ladies of the district who were interested in learning to
curl, to come to the rink one Saturday where they gave
them instructions on the art of curling. Before the day was
over a Ladies Curling Club was organized with eight rinks
being formed.

The skips were Mrs. T. J. McTavish, Mrs. Fred Reid, Mrs.
John Todd, Mrs. Bert Hall, Mrs. William McFarland, Dora
Gilbert, Millie Lampkin and Mabel Biccum.

Curling took place on Saturdays and Wednesday
evenings. Some Saturdays everyone brought their lunches
and made a full day of it with all eight rinks taking part.

There were two sheets of ice, one on either side of the
skating ice. There was a small waiting room on the east
end, with a small lunch counter in one end. Using an old
box stove we managed to heat water for tea and all were
able to enioy their lunch even if it was a bit crowded.

One time the men had the ice marked out to curl for
points, they asked any of the ladies who would like to try
to ioin them. Both the Men's and Ladies' Curling Clubs put
up prizes. All the decisions as to where to place the
broom, were made by the person who was throwing the
rock, someone held the broom and the thrower was
expected to sweep his own rock. Points were given for
"take-out", “draw-in" and the ability to put a guard in
place.
