Bob Mayo Memorial Stick Tournament
Welcome to The Bob Mayo Memorial Stick Tournament! This exciting event was inspired by a conversation between Kevin, Bob’s brother, and our club manager, Steve. They wanted to create a new fundraising idea that would not only bring members into the club but also encourage curling and socializing among everyone. With Kevin and other club members already using curling sticks to deliver rocks during their games, the focus shifted to stick curling, and thus, The Bob Mayo Memorial Stick Tournament was born!
This tournament takes place during our winter session, typically scheduled between mid-January and mid-February. It features two-person teams, where each player takes turns delivering rocks using a curling delivery stick. Each game consists of six ends, with each team throwing six rocks. One player will skip an end while the other throws the rocks, and then they will switch roles for the remaining ends. Just a heads up—sweeping is only allowed once the rock crosses the hog line at the playing end.
We’re excited to invite all members and non-members alike to participate in this fun and friendly competition. So, grab a partner, come join us, and enjoy a great time curling and connecting with fellow members!

"Anne and I enjoyed ourselves, and all who took part in this event came away with lots of good cheer and no doubt lots of laughs and good fun. Kevin Mayo and the staff at the club did an excellent job. It's going to be hard to top that weekend of curling with the stick. The cheering sections were lively for sure - my jaw was sore from laughing at their antics." - Jim Cosgrove
