This event is now over. Read a recap of it here, and join us in 2013!
Join the Pacific Rim Curling League for its annual one-day funspiel on Saturday, November 17!
The Pink Broom has always been a fun, social bonspiel that traditionally has matched participants on randomized teams throughout the day, with curlers dressing in their best pink outfits, sweeping along to the sounds of Katy Perry and Rihanna.
This year, the PRCL is mixing up the format by introducing a “Continental Cup”-style event that will see participants formed into teams of 8. These teams will compete in regular curling matches, doubles matches, skins matches, and skills competition, winning points for wins and ties. The team with the most points at the end is the winner of the Pink Broom!
This event is great for everyone – from experienced curlers to novices who want to meet more people and learn more about curling. All types of groups are welcome!
- Date: November 17, 9am to 5pm
- Cost: $45 (includes lunch)
- Guaranteed 3 four-end games
- Featuring regular curling, doubles, skins, and skills competition
- Register as an individual, or with friends
Registration is now closed, thank you to all who signed-up!
