Doug Petch

We are sad to announce the passing of Doug Petch on April 19th at age 86.

Doug held the position of Club Manager at the London Curling Club from 2007 until his retirement in 2015.

An avid curler, Doug thoroughly enjoyed playing with his buddies in the Daytime Men's league. He was always willing to volunteer his time when needed, helping to organize and oversee various bonspiels and events, most notably the Prostate Cancer Bonspiel. Doug also loved to sing with his Barbershop friends in the Barbershop Harmony Society. He is survived by his wife Joyce and son Wayne.

175th Anniversary Bonspiel

: ROCKTalk-2022-2023; 18 March 2023

The London Curling Club's 175th Anniversary Bonspiel was held on March 18, 2023 with 24 teams participating. The theme for the day was "Curling in the Past". Below are some mighty fine team photos from the event.

The club was presented with an historical plaque by the Historical Committee of the London Public Library. The plaque commemorates the formation of LCC, and the earliest known curling activity in the city, which was December 10, 1847.

This event was made possible through the generous donations that were made by our members and sponsors, but also through the efforts of the following: Greg and Dawn Lewis, Bruce and Cindy Thom, Gary and Sue Peters, Jeanette Walker, Janet Legue and Marnie Dickout. Larry Lawson provided the musical entertainment. Fay Weiler and Murray Turner did the scoring.

Thanks to all for making this an event to remember!
