Rock Solid
Welcome from the President
Hello Members,
First I would like to say welcome to what is
shaping up to being a great year of curling.
I know that the board and Dave are working
very hard to continue to grow and build on
the success that the club has been having
the last few years while we stay focused on
the new adventure we will be starting with
our new building in 804 days and counting
(from the time I am typing this!).
As this is my First year of being the
President of the Lethbridge Curling Club
I have been introduced to so many things
about curling and look forward to with the help of the Board Team bringing these things
to life in your club. We as a board want to ensure that no matter who your are from
Spectator to Junior to Senior or feeling like a Senior (after the first game of the year!)
that you enjoy just spending time at the club and engaging with your fellow members.
I remember being a kid and half my time in the winter was watching my parents play a
sport that they loved and I have come to love and enjoy through the engagement of the
game and the interaction of fellow members. I think I can speak for the board when I say
to us being a member of the Lethbridge Curling Club is more then just Curling, it’s being
part of a Family and creating life lasting memories. That feeling and those memories are
what we want to create each and every day for everyone that walks through that door.
We continue to look for ways and ideas that would help Create this atmosphere so please
share with either one of the Board members, Dave or myself any idea’s your may have.
We are always looking for volunteer help and if you’re interested please reach out to Dave
or the Office staff and they will get you going.
On behalf of the Board, Dave and myself we look forward to seeing you all on the Ice
enjoying yourself as much as we do and if you ever want to join any of us for a beer we
are always down for that as well!!!
Here’s to having a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 2014 Curling Season, see you at the
Club!

Rock Solid
Welcome from the General Manager
I would like to welcome you all to the club for the 2014 – 2015 curling season. For our
returning members thanks so much for supporting our club in the past and I can’t wait to
see you all very soon. If this will be your first year at the club I would like to offer a big
welcome and invite you to come down to meet the staff and take a tour of our great facility
before curling starts. Whether you are a returning member or new to our club, it is going to
be a great year of curling, having fun, seeing old friends and meeting new friends!
We have two more seasons of curling to enjoy at our current location before the big move
will take place to the Crossings Ice Complex which will be our new home as of the summer
of 2016. The Lethbridge Curling Club will be given a great opportunity to show the world
how a curling club can change and adapt to today’s environment while maintaining our
club feel and great experience at the club that we strive to deliver every day. We will have
many new opportunities to increase revenues, increase membership and show off the great
sport of curling to even more people! Please visit the website, like us on Facebook, watch
your emails and watch for information at the club on the progress of the new Crossings Ice
Complex, future home of the one and only “Lethbridge Curling Club”!
It has nearly been four years that I have been your General Manager at the club and I would
like to thank each and every member. We truly have an incredible club in all areas. Thanks
to Geordie and Merle for giving us great curling ice to play this game we love so much.
Thanks to Maggie for always looking after us all in the lounge and restaurant. Thanks to
Nanette for giving our club a pro shop and office that we all can visit and enjoy. The biggest
thanks have to go to all the volunteers that make our club what it is. From our amazing
Board of Directors to the volunteers that help with spiels and curling clinics, we are so
blessed with terrific people that are always there when you need help!
Our club continues to become busier and busier each year with membership holding steady
and many bonspiels last year being “SOLD OUT”. This year will be busy again with leagues,
events and right around 19 or 20 bonspiels! That is correct, 19 or 20 spiels at the club
which with all of our leagues and activities makes us one of the busiest clubs around!
To help me out this year I am so happy to announce that Janet Bell will be joining our
management team as the Lethbridge Curling Club’s Promotion and Events Coordinator.
Janet brings a wealth of knowledge and contacts to this position and even though it is part
time for now we expect Janet to be a full time management position in the near future.
It has been a great summer but I am ready for the club to start rocking again! Round up
your team or better yet, help our club grow by asking your friends to come down and give
this great sport a shot. I am sure they will find the experience at the club not only a terrific
one but an incredible value for their recreational dollar.
Thanks again to all of you for making the Lethbridge Curling Club a club I am so proud to
be a part of.

A few changes have been made to this year’s registration process that will make it quicker, easier
and an overall more enjoyable process than ever before! Pre-Registration will start August 18 and
run till August 22 with the office being open August 18, 19, 20 and 21 from 10 am - 7 pm and Friday
August 22 from 10 am - 5pm for you to come in and register. Pre-Registration is for teams with at least
three returning members. Open Registration begins Monday August 25th at 10 am at which time new
teams and all other registration needs can be accommodated. We will again be using our individual
registration form that is more user friendly. You can still register a whole team or you can just register
yourself and have the other team mates come in to register and pay for themselves! Please remember
that all four memberships for a team must be paid to secure your spot in a league. New this year you will
be able to Pre-Register and Open Register over the website, simple go to lethbridgecurlingclub.com and
follow the links to register. We hope this helps making registration even easier for everyone!
Pre-Registration: August 18 - 22 (Office hours Monday to Thursday 10 am - 7 pm & Friday 10 am 5 pm) Open Registration Begins: August 25 and continues through September and into the season.
 Registration for Juniors - Little Rockers: Juniors can register for the upcoming season starting
August 18 and throughout the registration process. We also are more than happy to register and start
juniors in the program anytime throughout the year. We understand there are many activities kids can
do these days and it is hard to schedule everything in so just come down and we will adjust the junior
membership fee accordingly to when a junior can start participating in the league! We have also added
a second day for Little Rockers and Junior Curling which will be Sunday’s at 3 pm to about 4:30 pm. Now
you have the option of the Wednesday afternoon league, the Sunday afternoon league or you can do both
if you want!

accepting Senior registration during Pre-Registration and will continue to accept their registration
throughout the registration period and into the season.
 Registration for Individuals: For individuals wanting to curl on a team this season we will be taking
their names and doing our best to match them up on teams. This will be the third season of the “Rookie
League” which is for new curlers and you enter as individuals, not teams. Information on the “Rookie
League” is contained in this book so please check it out. Also, please consider taking one of the curling
clinics in September as this is a great way to meet people and get on a team for the upcoming season.
 League Fees: League fees must be paid in full for every person on a team to secure that teams spot in
a league. Pre-Registration teams fees must be paid in full before the end of Pre-Registration on August
22 to secure your spot in the league you are registering for.

please let us know If you want your information in the roster book by circling yes or no. Did you know
that all members have the privilege of having a charge account to use at the lounge, restaurant and
pro shop? You do so please just circle yes on the registration form to have it activated. Also, please look
over the Volunteer Activity section of the registration form and help us out if you can. We also need all
members at the time of registration to give us permission to email them during the season. The emails
are regarding club activities and we do not share your email with anyone!
 Locker Fees: Locker fees for the 2014 - 2015 season will be $25 for lockers located in the lobby and
$35 for lockers in the men and women’s locker rooms (plus gst). Please check the locker selection on the

Dunlop Ford Club Championships
Bonspiel - Best in the Club Award
At the end of regular league play the Dunlop Ford Club Championship Bonspiel will begin. If you play in a
Women’s, Men’s or Open League you can enter your team in the Club Championship Bonspiel. There is no
charge to enter and you can get some extra curling in before the season ends! Dunlop Ford has been a
longtime supporter of the curling club and the Club Championships! Thanks to their support we are able
to provide nice prizes to the winning teams in each division. Last season’s champions in the Women’s,
Open and Men’s divisions received new curling jackets embroidered and will have their names on our
new Dunlop Ford Club Championship plaque upstairs in the lounge! Please remember you need to have
at least 3 regular members from your team to enter and you may enter in more than one division but we
can’t guarantee that there will not be conflicting games if you enter into multiple divisions.
Again this year we will have the “Best in the Club” award or the BC award! We will have a standing
board located in the lobby that will be updated every week with the BC standings. So what is the BC
(Best in the Club) award and standings? It is the team with the best winning percentage in the club
(Super League teams not included and your team must play in a league for a minimum of 10 games to
qualify). Weather you play in Men’s D square, Women’s B square or Wednesday Open, the standing will
show the team with the best winning percentage and at the end of the year the top team will win a great
prize! Congratulations to the Nanette Dupont team for being the 2013 – 2014 Best In Club Champions.
They received new embroidered curling jackets and will have their names on the Best In Club plaque
upstairs in the lounge!

Rookie League
Always wanted to give curling a try but did not want to be the only beginner? Our
Rookie League is for you! Here are the details:
 The Rookie League is held on Saturday’s from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. The cost is
$95 plus gst for the whole season and we supply all the equipment needed at
no charge!
 The season is made up of 12 games this year (October 18, 25, November 1, 8,
15, 22 December 13, 20, January 10, 17, February 7, and 14).
 First half of the season (approx. 6 weeks) is called the smart start portion of the
league. During this 6 week period instructors will work with you in small groups
to teach you all the techniques and strategies of curling. You will work your way
up from about 1 hour per night at the start to the full 2 hours by the end of
week 6.
 Second half of the season (approx. the last 6 weeks) is the start of the Rookie
League where you will be put on a team according to your progress and what
position you would like to try or you can form your own team with other Rookie
League members.
 6 end games are played and instructors are still present to monitor the games
and offer help to the curlers. There are always qualified instructors on the ice
with you to help make your curling experience a terrific one!
 Beginner curlers can play in the Rookie League for a maximum of two years. If
it is your second year of Rookie League we will focus on instruction for the first
couple of weeks and then into game play after that. We will then help you form
or find a team to play on in one of our Women’s, Men’s or Open Leagues.

Lethbridge Seniors Curling Club (LSCC)
On behalf of the Lethbridge Curling Club (LCC) and our LSCC Executive, I welcome you
either back or to our club for the 2014/2015 season. The Senior Club does not have
teams, it is completely composed of individuals placed by a computer program for each
square and bonspiel, so you do not have to join a team to belong to our club. After each
square, our members are put back into the computer for the next round and a completely
different team.
We had a very good year last year with new members joining us and our overall membership
continuing to be strong. We hope to continue to grow and we encourage you to talk to
your friends and family to come out and join us. We offer a free two day instruction clinic
in the fall to anyone who would like to try curling, no obligation to join. We have found
that if you have not been on the ice for quite a few years, like, say, High School, it is
nice to try being on the ice again to see if you can do it without having to join. Many of
our members have started to use the stick to throw the rocks and it seems that they are
better curlers now than they ever were, so if knees are a problem, try this new method
out at our clinic. (See below)
We will have our four regular squares and four bonspiels. The Kergan is in the fall session,
the Ham and Turkey just before the December break, the Green Acres Seniors Open in
February and the Club Championship at the end of the season. Bonspiels are not a part
of the squares and players do not have to enter them. Our social events, besides coffee
after each game are as follows: The New-Comers Luncheon is for every new curler and is
free for them  The Christmas Social is at the end of the Ham and Turkey Spiel.
We host a Welcome Back Luncheon after the December Break. We contact all the curlers
who have had to leave our club for various reasons to join us for lunch at a nominal cost.
These people have built our club and it is our honour to welcome them back.
Registration starts August 18th and goes till the clinic’s at the start of October. Seniors
only register their name, not as a team, as we rotate our teams throughout the year.
Special requests may be made and the executive will make any final decisions.
We are again hosting a FREE curling instruction (or re-fresher) course to all our members
and potential new members. We have this offered for two days at the start of October from
1 pm to 3 pm each day. You may come for either one day or both, the only equipment you
need is some clean (very clean) shoes and slacks which will allow you to stretch out in.

Tim Horton’s Little Rockers &
Junior Curling Program
The Lethbridge Curling Club could not be happier with our Tim Hortons Little
Rocker & Junior Curling Program. Since 2011 we have had the program grow from
40 kids to over 130 kids last season and we anticipate the growth to continue! We
strongly feel there is no better value out there for children to participate in a sport.
The 2014 - 2015 season is fast approaching and we are pleased to let everyone
know that Little Rockers can have qualified instruction and curl all year for $95!
That’s right, all year for just $95. Juniors can curl all year for just $115. What do
you get for $95 or $115? Here is what you get:
 Qualified instruction from paid staff and Lethbridge Curling Club volunteers.
 A hoodie for each child with our Little Rocker/Junior Curling logo and slogan
on it as well as our great title sponsors logo on it, Tim Hortons. (Must register
by Oct. 31 to have hoody ordered)
 A healthy snack night once per month. After we are done curling it is
upstairs to the lounge area for prizes and healthy snacks.
 A Christmas party with pizza and lots of prizes. Santa Claus and Rocky (our
club mascot) are expected to be attending this party as well.
 A year-end wrap up pizza party and lots of prizes.
 A year end bonspiel for the kids of the program will be offered as well.
 We have a large supply of brooms that the kids can borrow every week so there
is no need to purchase any equipment.
We the huge success of this league we are adding an additional time slot for Little
Rockers & Junior Curling. Wednesday’s is the day we have always run the program
from 4:15 to about 5:45 pm and now we have added Sunday’s from 3pm to about
4:30pm. You can choose which day works better for you and your child or you can
do both days for just $135 for Little Rockers and $155 for Junior curlers!
Registration for the Junior Curling Program will start August 18th for both returning
and new Little Rocker and Junior curlers. The Little Rocker and Junior Curling
Program will start October 1st for the Wednesday time slot and October 5th for the
Saturday time slot and both run till the first week of April.

New and Improved SOS Program
Support Our Sponsors!
Without the generous support of our many sponsors we could not have the fantastic curling club we enjoy today!
The local companies that sponsor and advertise at the Lethbridge Curling Club help us provide this club to
the people of Lethbridge and southern Alberta to enjoy and we as members must support the businesses that
support us as much as possible.
IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR CURLING FEES IN THE UNBELIEVABLEY LOW RANGE WE CURRENTLY PAY THE CLUB
RELIES ON OVER $100,000 OF SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING PER YEAR FORM LOCAL BUSINESSES! SO
PLEASE SUPPORT THEM!
To reward our members that do support these businesses we have restructured the SOS program. This season
you will see a draw barrel and information on the SOS program in the lobby of the curling club. You will be able
to pick up a sheet with all our sponsors listed so you will be able to support these businesses. Simple make a
copy of a receipt from a purchase at any of our sponsors and print your name on it and drop it in the draw barrel.
At the end of every month we will draw for a great prize. Last year we gave away over $700 worth of prizes to
people who supported our business partners.
One last thing, when you do go to businesses that support us please let them know why you are there. Let
them know you are from the Lethbridge Curling Club and thank them for supporting us. It is then up to the
individual place of business to earn your business and loyalty which is all they are asking from us!

New Curling Club
The Crossings Ice Complex is
on its way! The consultants,
architects, City of Lethbridge
officials and your own New
Building Steering Committee
have hard at work on the
planning of the new Crossings
Ice Complex. It is going to be
amazing! We are getting everything we have now plus many more things in the
new curling club. The big move will happen during the summer of 2016 with
our first season at the NEW AND IMPROVED LETHBRIDGE CURLING CLUB
starting in September of 2016!
We all love our old curling club and will miss it very much but it is a very old
building and is incredible hard and expensive to keep in operating condition.
We should all be thankful to the City of Lethbridge for this new curling club
which is fully funded through Provincial and National grants. Our other option
was to somehow raise about $15 million dollars ourselves and build our own
facility for our club, not an option that sounds very fun. So please check out our
website for updates on the progress of the Crossings Ice Complex and also for
the process that has lead us to where we are today with this project. Facebook
updates, emails and informational products will be setup at the club for all of
us to see.
