Curling Leagues starting up

By Joan Janzen

The Kindersley Curling Club is sweeping in a new season, and the club’s communications member, Jacquie Armitage, is getting the word out. The curling club is offering four leagues starting the week of November 7th. Monday night is men’s/open league, and Wednesday afternoon and evening is open. A new 6-4-6 league is being offered Thursday nights.

This new format has been very successful in other curling clubs in Saskatchewan and is perfect for teams that only want to commit to part of the curling season. According to Jacquie, it’s also a good fit for beginner curlers who are looking to socialize and have fun.

This six-week league is offered three times during the curling season. You simply submit a team of four and play six ends, ending the night with one free drink per player upstairs in the lounge! The club is also offering free curling during the week of November 3rd to 6th, with more details to follow.

Remember to mark November 22nd on your calendars. That’s the night of the club’s annual general meeting, which starts at 7:00 p.m. in the curling rink lounge. Committee reports and the club’s audited financial statements will be given, and elections for new Board members will take place.

Kindersley Curling Club is looking for new Board members this year. “Currently, we have eleven Board members, and we are hoping to recruit three new members to take over positions of our long-serving members potentially,” Jacquie said. As an incentive, all Board members will receive a 50 percent discount on their annual curling fees! It’s a perfect opportunity to help out and have fun!
