2012 Curling Season Nearing a Start

Repairs to the Drill House are nearing completion, and we anticipate that we will have a slightly shortened season, but a season nonetheless. The main entry roof repairs are well underway. The cupola has been 

framed in and siding and roofing are going on. In the curling wing, the broken roof truss has been reinforced. We are now waiting on the replacement of the rafters over the warm room and crane that were partially "pancaked", and installation of new roofing material.

Once that roof is repaired, we can proceed to ice making. Once all repairs are completed and the CCCC Board is satisfied that the building is safe, we will move CCCC property back into the building and start the 2012 season.

We anticipate that we will be having Open Houses January 8 and 10, with leagues to begin January 16.

More information on the club schedule will be posted here and emailed directly to past/present CCCC Members, as it becomes available.

Storm Damages the Drill House, home of the Copper Country Curling Club

July 2, 2011

A brief and intense wind storm caused significant damage to the Drill House, home to the Copper Country Curling Club in Calumet.

Major damage was done to the non-curling portion of the structure, with the cupola roof essentially being ripped off and deposited behind the building. The roof of the adjacent structure was blown off and rammed into the side of the building adjacent to the parking area.

The extent of the damage and the impact it will have on the use of the structure will have to be assessed by professional engineers, presumably some time after the weekend. The building is owned by the township and I have been told that insurance paperwork will be started on Tuesday.

Our stones and equipment were unharmed and are secure in the building at this time, though we may want to remove those to another location soon.

Beyond that we will all have to be patient and wait to see how this pan's out.

Member Bob Mark Passes

It is with great sadness that I must report that first year Copper Country Curling Club member Bob Mark has died of an apparent stroke. Bob curled Tuesday evenings with teammates Mike Gretz, Paul Eisenman, and Walt Milligan. He was with the School of Business faculty at Michigan Tech.

Bob was an enthusiastic member of the club. He came to the Drill House when a call for help was issued. In fact, I last saw Bob less than 2 weeks ago at the Drill House clean up session. He will be missed.
