Due Date
If your application & payment has not been received by the due date, your requests for league play will
be put in priority sequence by the date received by the Club. Upon approval, you will be placed in a league.

Full Membership
Once your application form is completed and approved, you will be considered a member and placed on a
team. The number of weeks played in a season will be dependent upon events hosted at the Club, snow
days and emergency closings. Members cannot transfer their membership to another individual.

Teams of More Than 4
Should you choose to have more than 4 members on your team, all players must pay full membership fees applicable to the section.

Formation of Teams
Any team of less than 4 players may be assigned a person on the waiting list at the discretion of the board. Should a vacancy occur on a team during the season, a person on the waiting list with appropriate experience will fill that vacancy.

Pro-rating Section Fees
Joining a league part-way through the season, will result in a pro-rated fee to be determined by the Management and Board.

Bye or Rotation System
In the event that your chosen league is full, a bye or rotation system to an alternate night may occur. In a
bye system, a team would not play a particular week depending upon the number of teams registered. In a
rotation system, a team would be scheduled to play on another designated night in rotation during the
season.

Lockers
The lockers will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Each member can only apply for ONE locker. Members can either use their own lock or use the Club lock on the locker. If you are using your own lock, please return the Club lock back to any staff . At the end of the season, please leave the club lock in your locker when you clear out your belongings. You may obtain your locker at the Open House or later. Lockers can be obtained from the Office and the Bar.

Office Information
As of August 13, 2012, the office will be open at various hours to accept registrations. Starting September 4th, 2012 regular office hours will be 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday. During the season, evenings and weekends, the Staff on duty will be happy to assist you. To book a rental, practice ice or a make up game, you must call the office during regular hours.

Withdrawals, Refunds, and Credits
All cancellations/withdrawals must be initiated, and followed in writing, prior to the third day of curling in their regularly scheduled league. No refunds or credits will be considered after this date. Consideration will be made for personal injury or re-location.

A $25 administration fee will be deducted per person, per section for all refunds. Withdrawal/Refund request must be submitted to the Office in writing and dated. You can contact the office for the appropriate form. Notice will take effect on the date received by the office. Refunds will only be applicable on the playing fee portion.

Club Closure

Leagues will follow up with their members to indicate how this cancelled game will affect the schedule.
