The final match up of the evening set for a 10:45 start.
Play continues through the day Saturday, with Sunday the day to determine the top male curlers on the North Coast.
Along the way, the weekend will feature some socializing as well, as the 2017-18 curling season prepares to wind down.
Curlers and supporters of the Club are reminded that raffle tickets are due back in before Noon hour of the 11th, with the draw set to take place after the finals of the Bonspiel around 5PM.
Curlers can take advantage of the tempting fare of Mucho Gusto Catering, which will be on site at the Curling Club through the Bonspiel Weekend, offering a menu that should help fuel the rinks all the way to a championship match.
