Rideau CC will be holding a straw broom bonspiel on March 3, 2012. The flyer is here:

Legend, if you come to Ottawa, this would be your chance to show us how they did it in the old days.

I LOVED sweeping corn, but have not forgotten how much work it was ... or the memory of having to pry my hands open by day 3 of a bonspiel.

I last used corn as a skip and, while proud to say I could still pound it, also admit that sweeping from the tee to the back line was plenty!

Nonetheless, the spiel would be fun IF (1) limited to 4 end games, and (2) with EMT staff nearby to treat heart attacks.

Good luck!

I don't mind if teams want to play four ends, and I am also allowing teams to rotate positions during the game. Either throwing order or just sweeping order. I am also allowing teams to rotate a fifth player in for every end if they like.
