This Bonspiel was born in 2012 as the “Nelson Cash Bonspiel”. In 2015 after Doug’s death it became the “Doug Bothamley Memorial Bonspiel”. It was the brainchild of Nando Salviulo and teams of every skill level have a good chance of being successful. It also has the highest prize payout of any Bonspiel in the Kootenay’s. In 2022 the Bonspiel was moved to the Creston Curling Centre when Nelson could no longer hold it. The pay out in 2024 was$12,500. Check here for the 2024 Bothamley Memorial Winners & Payout.
