Poulsbo Noon Lion curlers

 

Now here's the rest of the story about the Poulsbo team’s curling trip. Competing were Scott & Bev Puhn, Tom and Billie Jo Settle, Dick Prine, Pat and Sherri Burch, Joyce Smith and her friend Mary. 

During the evening banquet, the Jim Stark Award was awarded to our perennial host, Franz. Everyone had a fun & safe time curling. Our Canadian Lions go out of their way to make us feel welcome. From a potluck Friday to curling on Saturday, and a banquet and free breakfast on Sunday. We were kept busy and well fed. We will be returning with a team for next years Bonspiel. Plan on joining us.

Poulsbo Lions go curling in British Columbia

Waiting for the Bonspiel Curling Event in Campbell River, B.C. to begin. Nine Poulsbo Lions and spouses made this annual trek.

Lions return with handful of awards from curling

 

Ten Poulsbo Lions made the journey to British Columbia for a weekend of curling Feb. 13-15. Our Lions have made the trek for 13 years in a row, receiving the traveling trophy this year. Herb Armstrong received a special wooden crutch-type award so he can pee standing up (you'd have to see it and hear the poem to understand). High-scoring teams were the Burches (Pat and Sherri) and the Prines (Dick and Linda). Others attending were Joyce Smith and her friend, Elda Armstrong, and Scott and Bev Puhn.

Fun and trophies for three curling couples

 

Poulsbo Lions know how to have fun! Three Poulsbo Noon Lions and their spouses made the journey from Poulsbo to British Columbia for curling February 15, earning the Traveling Trophy for coming the farthest.

Lion Dick practices his curling skills. His wife, Linda, earned the Sportsman Trophy. Special thanks to Linda for providing these photos.

 

Lion Jim practices on the ice. He brought his better half, Barb. The Poulsbo couples challenged all-comers, taking a 10-1 lead before deciding to just goof off.

Curling in British Columbia has become an annual trip for Poulsbo Lions in mid-February.
