Our Bonspiel mission statement
"To deliver to every participant the finest in value, competition and camaraderie. Combining the best aspects of some of the world's premier bonspiels with the added touch that only Royals can provide."

The Genesis:
In January 2002, a small group of us were lamenting the fact that Royals, always a party club, had been without a Men's Bonspiel for a decade. We set it upon ourselves to attempt to hold an old-fashioned bonspiel where the focus was on fun and camaraderie. In doing so, we chose to "borrow" ideas from some of our favorite bonspiels we had competed in throughout the years. If you look closely you will see elements of Chicago's Men's Invitational, Montreal's Glenmore's Intermediate, Ottawa's Welton Beauchamp, and Toronto Cricket's Chisholm. It is a truism that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". The fun had to transverse all participants, be it the competitors, the spectators, or the volunteers. We have tried to make it an event for all, but with the focus on the curlers. We feel we have accomplished this. It is because of the immense generosity of all our sponsors and our volunteers that we are able to give, to all competitors, what we truly believe is the best value for their money. Please take a look at the links provided to our sponsors and acknowledge them any way you choose.

Come out to curl. Come out to party or come out to watch. All are welcome and we thank you for your participation in making our little spiel an event.
