Dear Members and Friends,
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new and returning members to the 2008 – 2009 curling season. The Board of Directors is committed to making this an enjoyable year. Work is on-going on the repairs needed after last years “floods’ but all should be finished by the start of the curling season thanks to the hard work over the summer by staff and volunteers.
The Club is privileged to offer curling at all levels of interest from Little Rocks to Seniors both during the day and in the evenings. We have one of the best Daytime programmes in the area which attracts a large and diverse membership. Evening draws are both friendly and competitive.
I hope that you will all take as much advantage of this programme as possible and enjoy good curling, good fellowship and good times in the upcoming season.
This is your club so enjoy it, have fun and good luck in your curling endeavours and please don’t forget that we always need volunteers at all events during the year.
Yours truly
Maggie Armstrong
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 or John Fraser
