The Assiniboia Curling Club executive met on Wednesday, Sept. 30 to discuss the feasibility of opening their doors and installing ice for the coming season.
The 2019/20 season ended on a sudden note with the outbreak of COVID-19 and so much discussion centred around interest level and finances, leaving the ACC in a deficit position last year with no year-end bonspiels.
The sport of curling has developed a set of safe play rules, so it was decided to survey the rinks from last year via phone and put out information through the club鈥檚 Facebook page to gauge the interest level before any concrete plans were put in stone.
Over the next couple of weeks, those who are interested will receive feedback requests by phone via their skips to tally those interested in a curling season this winter.
A survey will also be constructed and available through Facebook.
A set of safe practices and guidelines will be used to ensure everyone has a successful and enjoyable time this winter.
The ACC Board will meet in mid-October to determine a plan of action.聽
The Assiniboia Curling Club are always looking for new curlers. They discussed altering last years鈥� schedule of leagues and nothing was finalized until the board hears back from all concerned. The ACC will definitely need a strong contingent of participants, if they are to go through the process of installing ice.
If anyone has questions, please call the office at 306-642-5115 and leave a message.
As an added note, the ACC received provincial recognition through Curl Sask by being selected as the Youth Club of the Year for their efforts in working with the younger curlers in the Assiniboia area. With this honour, the ACC will receive a banner, their name on a trophy to keep for a year and a free instructional clinic this winter.
