Did you know that at one time three Canadian clubs were members of the GNCC? Did you know that the GNCC extended west as far as Minnesota? Did you know that the GNCC had its own version of the Jamaican Bobsled team? Anyone interested in trivia or our illustrious history, please keep reading.
One of the GNCC's newest clubs, the Rocket City Curling Club in Huntsville, AL just held it's first bonspiel. 32 teams from 10 states.
And the winners were - Team Lagavulin (Kenny Thomson, Gwen Krailo, Barb Thomson and Bob Hogan)
Congratulations!
Meanwhile another of our new clubs - Rail City Curling Club in Altoona, PA - got some nice TV coverage.

Editors Note
The calendar says it's still summer, but for many of us the days are getting noticeably shorter and curling season will be ramping up soon. Between The Sheets will transition back to a bi-weekly schedule in October to help you keep on top of all the news and the cascade of upcoming bonspiels.
To list your bonspiel on the GNCC Calendar send your info to events@gncc.org.
The goal of the Over - Under Spiel is to encourage people newer to curling to go bonspieling and face opponents with similar levels of experience. Each team must contain at least two members with five and under years of curling experience and can have two members over.
