2011-12 Curling Season

Posted by Jason on Thursday, September 15, 2011   |   Link to this post

Howdy folks! Labor day has passed us by, and by now you’ve all put away your white slacks and started putting up your holiday lights… I’m sure that got you thinking that it’s just about time for curling season to begin! Well it is!

We’ve been hammering out the details, trying to figure out the whens and the wheres and the costs… and we think we’ve got it.

Monday Night Super League
Monday nights from 8:30 to 10:30, starting November 28. The cost will be $375 for club members ($440 for non-members), and we’ll be curling for 16 straight weeks.

Friday Night League
Our Friday night league will begin November 4, and run for 8 weeks. There will be some gaps in there. The cost is $185 ($245 for non-members). We will run another 8-week league in the winter… so don’t be discouraged if this one doesn’t work out for you.

Beginner’s League
We will also be offering a short, 3-week league for beginners. The cost on this is $85, and you can choose from two sessions. The first will be October 10, 17 & 24. The second session will be held November 7, 14 & 21. These will be two hour sessions, held on Monday nights from 8:30 to 10:30. Folks will get a good introduction to the game. It’s a great opportunity to find out if curling is a sport that you’d like to play some more, AND you’ll have plenty of time to round up a team to participate in one of our regular leagues.

You can download the membership form here. Bring it to one of our open curling events on Monday evenings (more details to come — the first is coming up September 19, 2011 at 8:30), or drop an e-mail, and we’ll try to work out the details…

Good curling!

Kalamazoo Curling Club updates…

Posted by Jason on Monday, December 20, 2010   |   Link to this post

First things first… the holiday season is among us, and it sure was refreshing to see curling included on the 2010 Lego Advent Calendar! If only they had included some curling mini figures or little Lego stones. For those, you have to be creative, and if you want to see a fantastic Lego curling set-up, take a look at this. It was done around the same time as the 2010 Winter Olympics, but it’s still pretty impressive for those nerdy enough to enjoy Lego AND curling. And if you’re interested in some fantastic Lego curling, take a look at the last end of this fantastic Lego curling match. The last shot is truly unbelievable!

Okay… now for some serious stuff. We have an extra sheet available during our Monday Super League™. Interested curlers can use the ice from 8-10 p.m. each Monday night. Cost for non-members is $20; members get the ice for $10 each. We do have a limit of 8 people, so if you are interested, be sure to show up in a timely manner.

Our Friday night league Winter session will get underway on February 11. There is still time for you to get your team together to join our next session. Visit the league page for more information.

Also, there has been a call for some open curling dates, and we have worked some out.

Sunday, 12/26, 5-7 pm
Friday, 1/14, 7-9 pm
Friday, 1/21, 7-9 pm
Saturday, 1/29, 8-10 pm
Saturday, 2/26, 9-11 pm
Saturday, 3/5, 8-10 pm

One or more of these will offer learn-to-curl opportunities too. We’ll learn more about that in the next day or two, and post that information here as well.

Check the calendar for more information about more bonspiels in the area. We’ll be posting more there in the next few days.

Beginner’s League – Session 1 Canceled

Posted by Jason on Friday, October 1, 2010   |   Link to this post

Our Beginner’s League that was scheduled to begin on Monday, October 4 has been cancelled. There will be open curling on that date for those folks still interested in getting on the ice. For those of you still interested, we are hoping to have another session of our beginner’s league. It’s a 3 week program designed to get people familiar with curling. The next session is set to start October 25. Find out more here.

Gearing Up!

Well, the Kalamazoo Curling Club IS going to be functioning this winter… The change in the weather has finally gotten us in gear to announce dates and times for our Fall and Winter leagues. Take a look at our event calendar for league dates, and also for a SMALL amount of bonspiels that are happening nearby.

For a full list of bonspiels all over the U.S., visit the USCA web site. We will have more information here as it becomes available… perhaps a change or two…

The folks at Wings Stadium have had a busy summer. They have taken over operations of the other ice rinks in Kalamazoo (now called Wings West), AND they have totally gutted the Annex and put in a new floor over there… which we hope will lead to an AWESOME curling experience for the club.

Stay tuned for more information… curling season starts VERY soon! Good curling!
