Much like our beginning of season curling instruction, the new curlers are invited to come out any or all nights, if space is available. Curlers will also receive a free hot chocolate.
A signup sheet is up on the board by the manager’s office, calling for volunteers to help out with on-ice instruction and game play. We will need at least one person (preferably two) per sheet per evening. As well as curling know-how, any experience you may have with teaching people whose first language is not English would be an asset. Some will have a “match”, or local volunteer with them to help ease any language barriers.
Newcomers who are interested in taking part are asked to send in your names to:
