SHAWVILLE April 19, 2018
The Shawville Curling Club was packed on April 19 as the daytime curlers held their annual year-end banquet. The night’s festivities featured food, drink and many stories about games won and lost.
Mary Ann Abrams served as the emcee for the evening, and the meal was provided by Cafe 349, who took over operations at the club’s kitchen this season.

Once everyone had a full belly – and a few more drinks in them – the trophies were handed out. Abrams thanked those in attendance for an excellent winter of curling, as well as the sponsors who donated quite a pile of prizes, including hockey jerseys and wine.
Basil Hodgins provided the entertainment with a rather spicy set of jokes that left the crowd in stitches.
Winners were as follows:
Monday Arnold Ireland Trophy: Denis Boucher, Réné Cousineau, Dave Cummings and Dalton Cluff.
Tuesday Mixed, Alaire Deering Trophy: Réné Cousineau, Fern Laliberte, Mary Ann Abrams and Dalton Cluff.
Tuesday overall points: Peter Haughton, Ron Tanguay, Nancy Arniotis and Terry Frost.
Thursday Mixed Memorial Trophy: Albert Armstrong, Helen Routliffe, Andre Barre and Nicole LeQéeré.
Bean Can Trophy: Wayne Park, Phyllis Wilson, Bob Simpson, Laurie Barber.
