“Come home to the Canadian Mixed in 2010”
September 23, 2009
Curl Manitoba has designated the Morris Curling Club’s Canadian Mixed Curling Championship as its’ official 2010 Manitoba Homecoming event.
Curl Manitoba was pleased to support the bid by the Morris Curling Club to host the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, November 13-20, 2010 and will be working with the Morris host committee through the coming season as they prepare for the next Canadian championship to be played in this province.
The Canadian Mixed in Morris will be co-chaired by Resby Coutts and Brenda Recksiedler.
“The Morris Curling Club is excited by the opportunity to add a Canadian Championship to the growing list of successful events it has hosted,” says Coutts. “We are especially excited to have our event recognized as Curl Manitoba's Manitoba Homecoming 2010 event.”
“We are very excited to be hosting the Mixed Championships in 2010 and are confident that Morris will put on another great curling event that is synonymous with Manitoba and curling.” stated Shane Ray Executive Director of Curl Manitoba. “ We believe that kicking off the 2010-2011 curling season with a National Championship will be a prelude to great things for Manitoba and curling and what a better way to top it than to designate it as our Homecoming event.”
An integral part of the marketing of the championship will be an invitation to Manitoba-born curlers to compete for their new territory/provincial entry in Morris and for Manitoba-born fans to ‘come home’ to support their new territory/provincial team.
