Wainwright, Alta. – The first weekend of February could be the new normal date for the annual Wainwright Oilmen’s Bonspiel. The 2012 version was held Feb. 3-5 after being bumped from its usual time slot during the first weekend of November due to an ice plant breakdown at the Wainwright Curling Club at that time. Lead organizer Bob Bishop, who is a field manager for Baker Hughes, said the rescheduled event went off without a hitch with no ice problems or complaints reported by any of the 21 teams that took part. “We are going to have a meeting and decide if we are going to stick with this – a date in February
This year’s B-Event champ is the Clean Harbors’ squad of (l-r) DusƟn Stobert, Keith Stobert, Don Heibert and Ron Lindsay.

It’s six of one and half dozen of the other.” Bishop said having the event the first weekend of February puts it in the thick of the curling season with the downside being that’s the same date as the Elk Point bonspiel. “We pulled in a few more oilfield curlers this year – that’s one reason for having it in February versus November,” he argued. “November is kind of busy sometimes. We were able to get a few more of the Talisman guys, and that sort of thing, curling.”
