The 38th Annual Senior Women's Bonspiel

Albany Curling Club, Albany, New York

November 20 - 24, 2019

The Albany Curling Club hosted "A New York State of Mind".  It was a 16 team, 8 end event, played at the 2 sheet club.  The club was honored to host the event and show how special a smaller club can be promoting the love of curling.  The Kit Party and Skips' Meeting were held Wednesday, November 20 at the curling club.  The Desmond was the host hotel.  See the Invitation in the right side bar for information.  Entry forms had to be received by September 6, 2019 to be considered.

The 3rd Super Senior Fun Day was scheduled for November 20, 2019 and was hosted by the Albany Curling Club.  Participants needed to be 65 as of December 31, 2019 and 32 women came from around the country to participate.  The Fun Day consisted of two 6 end games, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, which were held before the USWCA Senior Women's National Bonspiel Kit Party.  You did not need to be playing in the Sr. Women's National Bonspiel to participate in the Fun Day and you could play in both events.  Entries were accepted for individuals.  Teams were compiled from those applying to participate.  Click this link for more information and to access the entry form.  Deadline for entry was November 2, 2019.
