1st meeting 1908

First Meeting:

Friday, December 11, 1908


An informal meeting was held at the Union Bank of Halifax, Windsor, Nova Scotia, to discuss the possibility of forming an indoor curling rink in Windsor. Those in attendance were: J.A. Russell, R. C. Wright, R. Paulin, F.W. Dimock, F.T. Handsomebody, J.W. Blanchard, F.F. Murhpy, W. H. Roache, Rev. M Crawford, Rev. H .A. Harley.  "A proposal was made by F.W. Dimock to the effect that he would lease to the club propose, without compensation, sufficient ground to erect a curling rink. If the club put up such a building the probable cost of WCC would be about $300.00", he would buy it back at an appraised value after four or five years. A committee was formed consisting of three people to solicit "subscriptions to stock" and to find members for the club with a membership fee of $5.00 per year.
