What great interest we have had in curling. Over the past two weeks, our curling sessions have averaged 180 people each evening! Due to the great interest, we have decided to schedule three more sessions in March. They will take place on the evenings of March 12, 19, and 26. The format will be slightly different than our February sessions:

Each Learn to Curl will start at 9:30pm. At this time we will allow 80 people onto the ice. At 11pm, we will bring on the second shift of remaining people and conclude the session at 12:30pm. Feel free to come early or stay after and watch others curling! Like the February sessions, the cost is $15. We recommend wearing warm, loose-fitting clothes. (Jeans are not the best choice for sliding on the ice.)

Also, we are now forming our Beginner’s League. Sessions will start on Monday, March 22 and run for 6 weeks. Maximum enrollment is 32, and games will begin at 8pm. If we have enough people sign up, we will make a double session, with games starting at 7 and 9pm. Please use this link to sign up.
