Welcome to the last print edition of the RECORDER! From this issue onwards, Tracing the Industry and the Grapevine will be combined into one longer column, and yours truly will be responsible for collecting all information. I would like to thank Carmen Swalwell for her friendship, inspiration and for all of her years of service on the RECORDER Committee. Carmen has been a regular contributor to our industry magazine since 2003, and has done a tremendous service to the Society through her mentorship of young professionals and support of more seasoned members through various iterations of her column, and I hope to continue with her traditions. As past-Editor Satinder Chopra said: “credit should always be given where it is due, and so I commend Carmen for looking after the TTI column in the CSEG RECORDER during her ‘tenure’, responsibly and consistently. It has been a creditable service and a job well done!” We wish you all the best!

Socially Speaking
DOODLESPIEL 2017!
The 45th annual 2017 Doodlespiel has now come and gone and this year we had 60 teams with over 300 participants. The town of Banff, the Banff Curling Club, and the Best of Banff company once again created an amazing venue for the Doodlespiel that was enjoyed by all.
The A event final had the Brack rink against the Boeckx rink and it was an exciting back and forth game. In the end the Brack rink consisting of Mike Langlois, Jim Brack, Dave Cryer, Bill Campbell, and Dale Johnson won the A event. Congratulations to the Doodlespiel Champions!
Other event winners include:
B Event = Ken Lengyel, Joe Pilieci, Glen Stewart, and Steve Widden
C Event = Bob Bleaney, Bill Bradley, Tooney Fink, and Ken Hedlin

This year we held a charity raffle once again with all proceeds going to the CSEG Foundation "In the Rings" Scholarship Fund. With everyone's amazing generosity we raised over $1800 from the raffle. A huge thank you to all those who participated and a thank you to all the sponsors that contributed raffle prizes. And once again, Larry Herd has generously matched all proceeds towards the fund, bringing us to a grand total of over $3600! Thank you Larry!
As Chairman of the 2017 Doodlespiel, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the sponsors of the 2017 Doodlespiel. Without the continued support of the industry, this great event would not be able to continue. Sponsorship and overwhelming participation of our industry continue to make this one of the largest curling bonspiels in Western Canada. As outgoing Chairman I am confident that next year's Doodlespiel committee will no doubt deliver another excellent event. The committee wishes everyone a safe, healthy and prosperous 2017 and look forward to seeing everyone back in Banff for 2018.
Daniel Perez – Chairman, 2017 Doodlespiel
