Dear Members and Friends,
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new and returning
members to the 2009 – 2010 curling season at the Richmond Curling Club.
The Board of Directors and staff are committed to making this
an enjoyable curling year.
Richmond Curling Club offers curling at all levels of interest
from Little Rocks to Seniors both during the day and in the evenings.
Our Daytime programme is one of the best in the area and attracts a large
and diverse membership. Our evening curling provides for all ability levels
with mixed, men’s and women’s draw curling, as well as competitive leagues.
Thanks to our many generous volunteers, we are also able to provide many
spiels and special events during the year. Additional volunteers are always
welcome.
I encourage our members to take full advantage of our
curling programmes; this is your club, so enjoy it and have fun.
I wish you good curling, good fellowship and good times in
the upcoming season.
Yours truly,
Anne McCready
President.

The Richmond Curling Club has been
operated entirely by its members since it was established in 1960. The
club is managed by a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee who
are elected to their positions at the Annual General Meeting by members
in good standing. Membership is open to all and is maintained by
the payment of an annual membership fee. These fees are established
based upon the cost of operating the club and the maintenance of a capital
fund for long-term equipment replacement. In order to minimize membership
fees, members are encouraged to volunteer their services in support of
various activities within the club. There are several membership
categories, which are all defined by restrictions in privileges of ice
utilization. These restrictions do not change your membership association
with the club nor do they change your expected volunteering commitment.
Members will see sign up sheets and notices around the club, which offer
the opportunity to support the various operations of the club including
KITCHEN, JUNIOR INSTRUCTION, PROPERTY and SPECIAL EVENTS. Look for
representatives of these committees and choose how you want to be involved.
The club facilities are available
on a rental basis, subject to availability, at attractive rates to members
for small wedding receptions, showers, birthdays and anniversaries etc.
The club is available for rent for group meetings, banquets and bonspiels,
or an evening of curling. It is your club, please use it.
For information on rates and availability
please contact Sue McFadzen (613) 838-5244
