Re: 2011/20112 Curling Season

On behalf of the board & staff, I would like to invite everyone back for another fantastic season of curling.

Welcome Curling Members:



We want to thank you for supporting the Red Deer Curling Centre in 2010-2011. As a valued member, we want to give you first priority to reserve your spot for the upcoming season.



With this in mind, please find enclosed your 2011-2012 Returning Team Intent Form, which must be completed in full and returned to us by mail, fax, email, or in person on or September 22nd, 2011. This will secure your team's spot in any club league. We continue to encourage you to submit your team information and one payment for your full team.

Currently our plan is to curl for the full season.   In mid December we will receive City Council’s decision regarding funding. Should the funding be approved, the season will be shortened to proceed with new construction. In March a proportionate refund will be implemented, with an option to donate your refund to the

NewBuilding. Curling will be interrupted from February 18-26, 2012 for all members and curlers to enjoy the upcoming 2012 Scotties, to be held at the Enmax Centrium.




In order to grow and introduce more people to our sport we have expanded our Learn to Curl Program to include a new Tuesday Open Fun League for the Novice and Beginner curlers with instruction included. We are offering fall and winter sessions. (Maximum 8 teams)

      Tues              Oct 11-Dec 20 (Fall)               7:00pm   (every 3^rd week at 9:15 pm)      $175.00
       Tues              Jan 3-Mar 20 (Winter)         7:00pm   (every 3^rd week at 9:15 pm)      $165.00

     Note: Tuesday Men’s League   7:00 pm (every 3^rd week at 9:15 pm)

Our goal in making these changes has been to preserve opportunities for all curlers who are currently participating, while at the same time welcoming those that we have been unable to accommodate previously. We are confident that we will achieve this goal.


This season we are offering a different fund raising event. We will be conducting a major raffle with many prizes. We hope all will participate in our continued efforts to raise the much needed funds for the Red Deer Curling Centre.

Watch for more details!

Help “Grow the Game”

1. Invite someone back or new to the game.

2. Tell someone about the new opportunities to curl at the Red Deer Curling Centre



In closing, on behalf of our entire curling staff, I would like to thank you once again for your support of the Red Deer Curling Centre. If you have any questions about the upcoming season, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.

Email: rdcurl@telus.net or phone 403-346-3777 Ext. 1 to leave a message or speak to someone.

We hope that you enjoy your summer, and look forward to welcoming you back this fall.
