Last season was fun. Let’s do it again!

Howdy.

I have updated our site to WordPress 8.0 and ramped up the security.

As a result if you wish to post to the Curling blogs (I think I’ll change the name to the ECC Curling logs ;} )

You ALL need to re-register!

I apologize for the inconvenience, just getting ready for the best curling season ever.
