Cowan, Wright, Beauchamp - The Championships
 November 28 - December 1, 2003
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Sponsored by Cowan Wright Beauchamp
The Ottawa Curling Club was host to some of the best curlers in Canada and
we hope you didn’t miss it! An exciting mens final saw Jeff Stoughton
defeat fellow westerner Jamie Koe 5-4. In the women’s final Brenda Nicholls
stole the game 9-1 in five ends against Marilyn Bodogh. Read the full story on
their website.
We offer our congratulations to our club members that qualified this year.
Deb Karbashewski and her team of Tara Holland, Lisa Paddle and Andrea Leganchuk
came within one point of advancing to the semi-finals, falling 8-7 to Nicholls.
Jean-Michel Menard and his team of François Roberge, Eric Sylvain and
Maxim Elmaleh lost 9-5 to Stoughton in the quarter-finals as well.
A big thank you goes out to our Manager, Dalal Abou-Eid, and President, Gord
Perry Jr., for the long and strenuous hours they put in over the weekend to
ensure players and spectators were well fed and watered and that, just generally,
things ran smoothly. Thanks as well to Marie Cooper, Chad Smail and Susan McMinniman
for (wo)manning the bar and to Jason Boppre and Bill Hughes in the kitchen
for keeping the hungry masses well fed.
We also would like to say a huge thank you to all those club members that helped
put on this event.
