The Curling Club will be closed over the Christmas holidays

Our ice maker Paul Harvey and his crew of Gary McTavish, Rick McGrath, Larry Taylor and Gord Walton will be flooding the ice and "texturing" the rocks over the Christmas break. Thank you, gentlemen, for all the work you do to keep our ice in great condition!

There will be no curling from Thursday Dec 22 to Sunday January 1.

All regular curling will resume on Monday January 2.

Squash Club remains open as usual.

There will be no Open Squash during the week between Christmas and New Years.

The Goldline Pop-Up Store last month
resulted in a net profit to the Club of $1310

Thanks to Board members Dan Bradshaw & John Gray
for organizing this.

Learn To Curl

Kathy Murphy reports that there were 21 participants in the LTC, out of which 10 have signed on for membership and several more expressing interest.

Thanks to Dan Bradshaw, Susan Johnson, Michael Andrews, Kathy Deutekom, MJ Kerfoot, Cassie Kerfoot and John Rycroft for all of their help!

Development Curling League
Saturdays from Noon to 2 PM

The new Development League will take over the same timeslot as the Learn to Curl program - Saturdays from noon to 2 pm.

This is open to ALL members so if you are looking for some more curling time, come out on Saturdays by 11:45, drop your tag in one of the four position buckets and have some fun.

The emphasis will be on furthering skills learned in the LTC program as well as getting in some actual games.

We need EXPERIENCED MEMBERS as well as our newer members to make this an enjoyable experience. This is a great way to get some experience at Skip or Vice positions too.

Looking for members to get their "Smart Serve"

The Club is looking for members who can volunteer as bartenders for both our in-house functions as well as our rentals throughout the year.

In order to bartend you must have your SmartServe Certification and the Club is willing to pay the fee for the course.

First Aid, AED, CPR training

We are also looking for members who would like to take First Aid, AED and CPR training. With enough interest we will be able to run courses here at the Club for you to learn/refresh or upgrade your skills.
