The 2024 Women's Open was held this past weekend on January 12-14. We had 24 Teams - half from out of town. A good time was had by all.
This was a bonspiel for all ages. We had every decade represented from teens to players in their senior years. One great moment was when we all sang Happy Birthday at the Saturday night banquet to a young player who turned 19 that day. She added to this celebration along with her Teammates by winning the A Event on Sunday.
Another highlight of the Bonspiel was that the runner up in the A Event was a Mother-daughter Team (Mom skipped) from Port Alberni with a granddaughter watching from the stands.
