To update everyone, Hunter's season went extremely well. He placed 27th out of 31 competitors at the World Junior Championships in Norway. We are now fundraising again and also looking for sponsorship so he can complete a full season of training at the end of this year. Thanks again, as all the contributions helped to fund his time in Europe.
A quick update. Hunter has finished his studies in Civil Engineering and is back home, although still needing to be in Naseby for Curling training in the weekends. He leaves with his Curling team this Saturday for Finland.
Our big Quiz night which was to be held on 25th November was postponed until 22nd February (due to several circumstances outside of our control).
We are still approximately $1,500 short of our target figure, any donation will be of great help!
