    The Drumheller Curling Club started November 4 and has been successful in getting league curlers for the season.  Ladies League, Tuesdays at 7:00 pm, has 16 curlers, Men’s League, Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, has 44 curlers and the Mixed League, Thursdays at 7:00 pm, has 52 curlers. Anyone wishing to join these leagues, as a spare, is encouraged to call Heather Little at 403-820-4787 or emailing the club.
  The Junior League has 15 curlers currently and will accept more curlers on January 4, for six weeks of curling,  for only $45.00.  
    Fun Night is every third Friday, also at 7:00 pm, and needs more participation to be successful.  The drop in fee is only $5.00, with no experience required. You are able to use the ice for as long as you want, up till 10:00 pm.  It is recommended for ages eight and up.  What a great idea for a winter activity without the blowing wind and snow.   There is socialization upstairs, after your game.
    The Drumheller Curling Club is also fundraising towards a new building.  It is a night out at Rosebud Theatre to see The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, on Friday, November 28. Tickets are $80 for adults and $50 for kids, ages 4-18, with a portion of the ticket price going to the club.  Tickets can be purchased from the club on any league night or by emailing the club: drumhellercurlingclub@gmail.com

Chasing a baseball dream

Chelsea Road To Cuba

    A local baseball player is hoping for support to make her way to the World Cup of Baseball.
    Chelsea Bradley is a member of the Women’s Baseball Team Alberta and is aspiring to play for Team Canada.
    The National Women’s Baseball program competes in a World Cup every two years and 2015 was the first time Women’s Baseball was in the Pan American games.
    A lifelong athlete, in 2013, Bradley discovered her true passion; Baseball. Finding Women’s baseball at a later age, the opportunities and exposure to the National Team is rare, but on November 6, she attended her first prospects camp in Saskatoon. From this, she was invited to a weeklong training/prospects camp in Cuba.
    “This is amazing because the camp is usually for U18 players only,” she said. “Attending this camp would drastically improve my chances of showing off my hard work, skills, and passion and being selected to play for Team Canada.
    To make this happen she needed to raise $2,000 and needs it right away. In fact, payment is needed by December 4.
    “That type of money is something I don’t have at the moment, “ she said. “I would be eternally grateful for any contributions, donations or sponsorship opportunities that you or your company is capable of sharing.”
    She has set up a Go Fund Me site to hopefully raise the funds need to make her way to prospect camp. Go to https://www.gofundme.com/ze9c7nfg :
     “Help me represent our Country and give you guys a HUGE shout out for helping me achieve my dreams and goals!”
