                                                                        Note of Thanks
                          The @#*! Cancer Spiel held on April 22nd at the Richmond Curling Club was an absolute success. The grand total raised for The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation was $6630.75.  Without the support of our club members and families this would not have been possible.  Thank you to the curlers and all of the people who supported this event in the various ways.  It is amazing how generous our club members are and the support we provide one another to do good for such a great cause.  We are a truly special club. 
                                                                               
                                                                                    Thanks again!!

About the Club

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.
 

Enjoying the Club

Members are invited to utilize the services of the club to the fullest extent possible.  Members’ guests are welcome to watch the curling activity and participate in the many social events that are ongoing in the club.  The use of the ice surface is defined by the membership category and the schedule of draws.  In draw curling, teams are formed on a 4-5 week basis from the list of members who have signed up for the draw.  It is the member’s responsibility to ensure they are signed up for the draws in which they intend to participate and no names are automatically transferred.  Teams for fixed rink competition are established at the start of the year.  Teams may be entered as a complete entity or individuals may submit their names to the Draw Master who will match then up with other individuals looking to form a team.  Curlers are expected to make themselves available for events they have signed up for and in the event that they cannot make a specific game it is their responsibility to arrange for a spare to take their place..
