Congratulations to the 2023-24 Calgary Ladies Curling Club Champions
The Championship games were played on Monday March 25th, prior to the AGM and Banquet. The “A” division was interesting this year as Bonnie Morris won both the Monday and the Wednesday sections but with two different teams. The Wednesday team prevailed winning the game and the Club Championship with Erin Waite sparing for the team. The “B” Championship was won by the Monday Erin Waite team over the Wednesday Maureen Mallett team.
