<31Aug2023> Trial Mini-Game To Break Ties
From Antlers President Tim Will :
A question was asked at the year end meeting "why do we break ties?". Win/loss is used as the tie-breaker at the end of the year. It could be done with different point values but for this year the exec has decided to break ties with a new way to end the tie. A full vote on tie games will come at end of year meeting.
We'll introduce the mini-end to the Antlers. This will be a curling end played with 8 rocks instead of 16; one played by each member of the team, with the first rock of both teams being in the free guard zone.
All normal curling rules apply. This would avoid a full extra end and skip rocks. The mini-end takes about 10 minutes. If there is no score after the mini-end, skip rocks will have to be played to determine a winner and to get us off the ice.
The reason for this change is due to push back on full extra-end and skips rocks. This gives the whole team a chance to help the outcome of the game. The mini end is quick and I feel it is worth a try.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
<24Aug2023> Major Changes to DLCC
Three major changes are in the works at our club.
1. In June, our two rooftop units were upgraded and replaced thanks to the grants we received from the Province and the City of Winnipeg last year. These units
heat and cool the upstairs lounge at the club and will not only provide a more comfortable environment, but will be more energy efficient and have easier controls.
2.
The club will be getting all new lighting inside the clubhouse, in the rink, and on the exterior of the building prior to the curling season! Efficiency Manitoba and the provincial government have announced a new program for "indoor ice rinks" in Manitoba, and the Deer Lodge Curling
Club is the first recipient for this initiative. The official announcement was made at the club on August 3, and work will begin shortly on the lighting upgrades.
3.
DLCC was also awarded a $75,000 grant from the Provincial governments ACSC program from an application submitted to replace the roofing material on both the ice shed and clubhouse (which has been leaking for some time). This grant requires an equal amount be secured by the club through fundraising.
<23Aug2023> Registration Open for Antlers Curling 2023-2024

<18Apr2023> 5050 Winners 2022-23
During our curling season we held a 50-50 fundraising raffle licence (1070-Rf-38682) from the Liquor, Gaming & Cannabis Authority of Manitoba. This allowed us to have a draw on each of our regular curling dates where 50% of the money taken in by the raffle ticket sales went to draw winners and the other 50% was retained by the Antlers league to reduce impact on membership rates.
One of the conditions of the licence was to advertise a list of dates, winners’ names, winning numbers and prizes won at the end of the season.
The advertisement is being fulfilled in the form of a page on our website, click/tap on ... 5050 Winners 2022-23
A big thank you goes to Board member Bryan Crandell for taking on the season long job of selling the tickets, handing out winnings and doing the required record keeping on almost 40 dates.
We were able to reduce budget costs by over $740 this year.
As a addemdun there was another 5050 draw alllowed under LGCA 13157-SOR (one time social event licence) that earned another $70 for our league. This took place during our April 5th Windup and Annual Dinner. The winning ticket worth $70 was purchased by Wayne Young. No special reporting was required under this licence. Thanks again to Bryan for doing the sales.
