Two pressing issues have forced the Bridgewater Curling Club to scramble for funds. The club's sprinkler system is nearing its 50-year inspection and must be replaced before next May. The system was installed in 1962 and has to be changed or the club will no longer be certified to operate. President Lloyd Tancock says its a major facility problem.
The compressor, used to make and maintain the ice, has also malfunctioned and a new one is needed. Officials estimate it will cost around $225,000 to fix the problems. The club has requested support from the town, Municipality of Lunenburg and applied for provincial funding.
