We'll find time if you, your family or guests, still want to curl ...

With the season winding down, it becomes harder to get all interested parties on the ice. Our best, and most popular, option, Learn to Curl, has only 1 session left ... April 11, from 7-9pm. For those who can't schedule that evening to attend, we still have some options ... if you have some flexibility.

As was the case this past weekend, Sunday mornings can afford an extra draw of ice time. I was on hand to open the building up from 9-11am to accomodate a number of groups that wanted to try the sport. One sheet had a Mom and Dad out with the kids - the family had watched the Olympics on TV and decided that it looked like fun! Another sheet, had some curlers from Napanee who, because of their ice being lost for the season, needed to reschedule a friendly "Family Grudge Match" before everyone headed back to their homes in various cities. And the other two sheets ... non-member requests I had taken during the week and was able to steer to the Sunday morning. Not only did the club make 30 people very happy (especially the group from Napanee), but, with a bit of extra effort and a couple hours of my time, we were able to produce 6.5 hours of ice rental revenue.

It has always been my philosophy to say "yes" when asked, "Is there any ice time available to try curling?" If you are flexible, I can find some time that will work!

Good Curling!
