Our New Face

Hi everybody,

Hope you had a great summer!  The SWCT has launched a couple of new media outlets to improve communication with our members, fans and friends.  You've obviously found our new blog - we intend to use this blog to replace last year's newsletter.  Please sign up to receive email newsletter updates by entering your email address on this site (  look over there  ------>  ) 

We also launched a Facebook group as a way to send each other quick updates, post spiel pictures, help us all search for and find spares....you get the idea.  Please check it out, join the group and help spread the word. http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=138578159519743&ref=ts

Of course we still have a formal website - how old fashioned :) graciously hosted by saskcurl you can find it at http://www.saskcurl.com/ - we're under "Hot Links" (of course we are!) on the right hand side of the page.

We hope that between these three resources, the SWCT can support and help to grow women's curling in our great province!  The SWCT is all of you - the women curlers.   Thanks for your support!  We are looking foward to 2010/2011.
