Welcome to the 2010-2011 Curling Season

The curling season started out on the huge renovation project which has just been completed at the Almonte Community Centre and Arena. The renovation work for the Curling Rink only included one new door on the ice surface which goes outside along with new weather stripping on the other doors. Most of last year’s members are returning and a few have decided not to. We will have some new first time curlers and some that have curled for a few years and have moved to Almonte. We welcome all of you to the “Friendly Town” and to the ACC.

Volunteers are an important part of our club and we would welcome new and returning members to sign up as a volunteer for some function in the club. There are many in club as well as out of club Bonspiels and Friendlies. Please be sure to take part in these if you can so we can keep them going from year to year.

My wife Wendy and I have been curling in Almonte for three years. We were new to Almonte but had curled in Ottawa for many years and we could not believe how welcomed we were to this club by the Day/Senior and Evening curlers. It is a wonderful club and everyone is made to feel at home and proud to belong to a great curling club.

Sincerely,
Brian Kelly
President
