Curling Fees & Club Information
The Williams Lake Curling Club will hopefully open for the year on Monday, October 3rd, 2022. This is an “open” week for all players to come down and get in some practice before the leagues officially start on Tuesday, October 11th. All league fees will be paid on-line again this year, and should be done prior to the end of September so that league and club organizers can get the leagues organized prior to their start on October 11th. Please visit our “Curling IO” page for registration details and directions. Please note – If you are having difficulty with Curling IO, and/or don’t have access to a computer, please see our Manager, Ken Hall, before the end of September.
There are a number of years using split seasons, meaning there is a Fall and a Winter season. The Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Mixed Doubles leagues have a Fall and a Winter season, whereas the Tuesday and Thursday Leagues are full season leagues. For the split leagues, individuals/teams are able to sign up for one or both of these leagues and are therefore not committed to a whole year if this conflicts with other plans (holidays, other committments, personal choice, etc). This is reflected below in the fee structure. Members may also choose to pay the full yearly fee in the Fall if they wish. Contact Ken Hall for more info on this if needed.
We also ask that team Skips/Captains phone or email the club to register their team roster sometime during the month of September.
All weekday evening league fees, the Capital Improvement Fund fee, and lockers, are subject to a 5% GST, which is added upon registration.
Please note – The CurlBC Affiliation Fee, the WLCC Membership Fee, & the WLCC Capital Improvement fee are paid by every member in every league, but it’s only paid once/person/year. As an example, when players are in more than one league they will only be charged the League Fee for second and subsequent leagues. Please see below for discounts if members sign up for multiple leagues.
Please note – The fees listed below are for teams with 4 players. If your team will have more than 4 players it is up to the Skip, with the help of our Manager, Ken Hall, to work out how much per person the fees will be.
Please note – Fees listed below have been adjusted for the length of games as well as for the number of games/year/league in an effort to have balanced fees across leagues.
