Hurricane Web Publishing and Playdowns.com would like to thank Curl BC for the honour of being awarded the 2009 Curl BC Friendship Award in recognition of the contribution made through the website design and development of playdowns.com.

The award is described on Curl BC’s website as:

A merit award presented, and not limited, to a person or organization who performed exceptional tasks to benefit curling in B.C. A friend to the sport of Curling in any capacity who is not eligible for other Association or CurlBC Awards, and may or may not be a member of a partnership group. The recipient will have performed an exceptional service meriting recognition.

I’m truly honored to have received this award. Playdowns.com was never created with the thought of receiving any kind of award. Just seeing the competitive curlers in the province of B.C. (and hopefully soon other provinces) have a place where their results are posted properly is award enough.

Thank you to Curl BC President Terry Vandale, Executive Director and CEO Scott Braley, and everyone else at Curl BC. I’d also like to thank Jay Wakefield for the help he’s given me with development of the site, Norm Allen for his support, Linda Moore for inspiring me to create the site and all of the volunteers who have entered results for the hundreds of playdown events during the five year history of this site.
