Twenty five rinks participated in this year's Seniors Bonspiel and, without exception, everyone who entered seemed to have a great time. The curlers also seemed to like the format of having the rinks drawn out of a hat, which enabled them to curl with people they probably would never have had a chance to play with before. There were some great shots, and there were some not-so-great shots, and there was lots of fun had by everyone. The winners of the ladies side of the bonspiel in the Flin Flon Credit Union Event were the Ann Wiebe rink of Gerri Kostuchuk, Betty Fehr and Phyllis Mckenzie. They won over the Sue Chrisp team of Maureen Lylyk, Shirley Lofgren and Lynda White, and what a game it was! Chrisp had Wiebe 9 to 3 after six ends, but Wiebe's persistence paid off and they chipped away and won the game. Third in the Main Event went to the Joanne Palmer rink of Kay Larsson, Fern Kozak and Yvonne Davis with Judy Maitland's team of Karen Anderson, Beryl James and Denise Rose taking fourth place. In the Curves Event the Marg Bragg team of Donna Giest, Bev Beever and Diane Burwash won over the Wendy Weseen team of Cathy Moore, Karin Hanson and Della Chilson. The Third Event was sponsored by the Ladies Bonspiel Committee and was won by Diane Pico, Darlene Myden, Mavis Hucaluk and Megan Miller over Ann Henry's team of Donna Streitle, Marlene Anderson and Angie Gryba.
