At this meeting it was decided to go ahead with plans to build a curling club in O'Leary . The interest to build was quite high from the village people and the outside areas. A temporary board of directors was voted upon at that meeting. The members were Orville Willis , Sherrill Barwise, James Baglole , Gerald Cornish , Eric Shaw , Ralph Bulger , Erland Phillips , Winburn Harris, Ernie Harvie, Winston Gallant , Keith Paugh , Gerald Shaw , Don Yuill , Keir Ramsay , and Clair Sweet .
