The annual meeting of the Assiniboia Curling Club will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at the Curling Lounge.

ASSINIBOIA -  With the opening of curling season, we reach out to all of last year’s and any potential newcomers to join for the coming season. By the time this reaches you, official registration night will have passed but it definitely is not too late to get involved this winter.

Just call the office at 642-5115 for further needed details.

We have Curlsask Clinic “Intro to Curling” Day scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 12. It will be broken up in three sessions.  From 4 to 5 p.m., will be for ages five to 10. From 5 to 6 p.m.  will be for ages 11 to 18, and from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. will be for 19 and over, including adults.  All are free so come out and seek any help you may desire.

Again, we have a series of leagues you can be a part of. Monday and Wednesday afternoons starting at 1:30 p.m. will be our Co-ed Rec league. Just show up and we’ll get you on a team. 

Monday nights will be our Travelling League where rinks from Assiniboia, Mossbank,  Coronach and Lafleche have entered the last few years. Any other communities are welcome to get involved. 

Thursday night is our Competitive Rec League night where any format of teams are accepted to curl, either at 6:30 or 8:30 p.m. on a weekly basis. You can enter as a team, or we’ll do our best to find you one, if need be.

We are offering a couple other opportunities as well. Depending on the interest, Tuesday nights, either once a month, every other Tuesday, every week, will be “drop in and curl” night. Families, individuals, couples just looking to throw a few rocks are welcome. Could come with some instruction if we can coordinate such.

But we need to know if there is interest so don’t be afraid to give us a call.  Then we are going to try a six-week block Friday Night Social League for those 19 and over. Again, enter as a couple, individual, or a team, and we’ll arrange for some games based on the numbers. Again, we need to know of interest so give us a call.  It may be three Fridays before and three after Christmas, or all after Christmas depending on what participants desire.

The annual meeting  of the Assiniboia Curling Club will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at the Curling Lounge.

And to stir a little interest, we are going to host an “Open Style Mini Spiel” on Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, 19. Get your team organized and get entered at 306-642-5115. Hope to see you all at the rink.
