The fundraising numbers are in regarding the sixth Almonte Cup Bonspiel which took place in March.
two teams of 32 curlers battled it out in a series of games modeled on the Continental Cup of Curling, and the Blue Steal team emerged with the coveted glasses.
Over the past three seasons the Almonte Curling Club has used its Almonte Cup year-end bonspiel to raise funds in support of the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation through registration fees, draws and a silent auction.
When the final rock was thrown and the on-line auction closed, almost $8,500 had been raised, doubling the curling club’s total donation of previous years. The club’s pledged to raise $30,000 for the foundation over 10 years.
