Armstrong Curling Club
Our club looking forward to opening this fall with full roster of leagues, including juniors, as Public Health Officer allows. We have done many updates to the rink area including painting, new scoreboards and cameras positioned over the 6 houses.
Covid-19
The Armstrong Curling Club is open for business! Masks are currently mandatory in our building unless seated at a table in the lounge or on the ice. Physical distancing is recommended as are other Covid protocols such as handwashing and staying home if you are feeling unwell, even if you think it’s just a cold.
Members and visitors, age 12 and over, will need to show proof of vaccination. We will ask for this at registration and for visitors/spectators, we will ask for this proof as you enter. We have long memories – you only need to show us once!
REGISTRATION – will happen on September 22 to 26, from 1 to 4 pm daily. This will avoid large gatherings and give us time to go over the paperwork. As with last year, a waiver will have to be signed. If you can’t make it down in person, we have sent all club members, who registered last year, a registration form. If you fill the form out, scan and return it, you will have registered online!
LEARN TO CURL – we will be offering lessons in our Try Curling Program. This 8 week program begins at 5:30 on October 18th, with final lesson on December 6th. You will be instructed in safely and curling basics and techniques by our certified club coaches. All you need is a clean pair of shoes (runners work nicely), layered clothing, and the desire to have fun! We will provide you with a slider and grippers and a broom to use. Upon completion of the course, if you decide curling is your game, we will do all we can to get you on a team in our January to March season.
About Armstrong & District Curling Club
The Armstrong & District Curling Club is located in the IPE Fairgrounds on Pleasant Valley Road. in downtown Armstrong. We have been at this location since 1966 and our building has been through several upgrades and renovations over the years resulting in a modern and comfortable lounge, expanded kitchen and 3 sheet rink. Our active membership base is between 225 and 250 each year with evening leagues, day leagues, Stick Curling Leagues weekend bonspiels and competitions as well as a Junior Program! For folks who would like to curl but are a little cautious about just jumping in, we have a focused Learn To Curl program. We have certified trained coaches who can provide instruction and welcome new curlers of any age. After having fun on the ice we invite you to join your teammates upstairs to the lounge for a great social experience! That is what curling is all about!
