Registration is now open for the 2008 Funspiel "Pirates of the Chesapeake!" to be held
January 17-20, 2008. Information about hotel accomodations near the club can be found on our
club handout.
Thank you to all of you who followed us down the yellow brick road and participated in the 2007 Funspiel!
It was - as always – a memorable occasion. Pictures from this year’s
event will be available on this site soon, along with competition results.
The Funspiel is an annual mixed bonspiel competition hosted by the Chesapeake
Curling Club and held during the third weekend in January. Although the theme changes
from year to year, it was named and begun in 1986 by Charlie Flamand who was a great
enthusiast of the game. During the inaugural event the club hosted 16 teams and have seen the
number fluctuate between 10 and 20 over the years. The first event award is named in
Charlie’s honor and memory. The second event is named in memory of Betty Whitlock who
from the beginning, along with her husband Chet, worked untiringly to make the club a success.
We all miss Charlie and Betty and their never-failing support of our club.
