The executive at the Oliver Curling Centre (OCC) have been busy during the golf season preparing for that other season – curling. This year, a Monday night corporate league will become a reality along with our regular evening leagues. The Ladies have been planning to make their Tuesday night league the usual fun night out with maybe a few new wrinkles thrown in. Wednesday night is set to be another great night where the men and ladies combine to do some unusual things on the sheets. On Thursday night the Men will continue to muddle through. What lacks in organization somehow always ends up with lots of good competition, camaraderie and even a few libations.

For the 2011-12 season, the OCC is providing flexible options for those who due to work commitments or other reasons – find it difficult to commit to curl on a weekly basis.

Thought about curling, but do shift work? The Oliver Curling Centre is encouraging up to 8 person teams so that shift workers and others can participate by alternating weeks with another person.

Baby-sitting a problem? Join up with another couple or couples. On alternate weeks one couple curls and the other couple baby-sits either at home or at the Centre. Children in school? Think about joining our super friendly day league. You can curl and still be home when school is out – the best of both worlds.

Going south for part of the winter, our day league has been split into 3 sessions. You can curl for 7 or 14 weeks then go south and if it works out you can curl the final 7 weeks of the season when you return. Visiting snowbirds here to escape the frigid east or north can come without fear of missing out on the curling season back home. Visitors are always welcome and even if you are not planning to curl, we welcome you to come to our Registration and Social evening on Friday September 23 at 7pm at the Center.
