At the ACC Board Meeting held on Wednesday, Oct. 14, following some in depth interest level contacting, it was decided to forge ahead and open the new curling season on Monday, Nov. 9. The ice plant will be fired up on Nov. 1 鈥� this will allow a week for ice preparation.聽
The ACC is once again offering the Monday Night Competitive Travelling League, the Tuesday Night Non-Competitive League (up to eight teams) 鈥� where families, students and curling fun seekers are encouraged 鈥� and the Thursday Night Competitive League (16 team max), where teams of guys, gals, or mixed, are accepted for those players of the more serious nature. Curlers must be at least 16 years and older.
The ACC is also proposing a six-week Friday Night (eight team max) Social League where curlers must be at least 19 years or older 鈥� this program will run from Nov. 13 to Dec. 18.
The Afternoon Recreational League on Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. will also be a go. Curlers can sign up for one day (or both) with their season running in two halves from Nov. 9 to mid-January and then mid-January to the end of season. All interested individuals are encouraged here 鈥� the ACC will ensure all participants get onto a team.
New curlers will get special rates applicable to their fees. Please contact the office for further details at 306-642-5115.
The ACC has set up a registration night for Wednesday, Oct. 28 in the upper lounge of the POW. Curlers can also register by phoning the office. All fee rates remain the same as last year in order to encourage as much participation as possible.
The success of the curling club will be gauged by the number of people involved.
