3 » Welcome from the President I can t believe that we are already looking at the curling season. I have heard comments that this season is going to be a normal one. Normal is hardly the word when our Club has new and exciting things happening this year. Our Little Rocker and Junior Program has exceeded all expectations of normal growth, the Shirtsleeve Bonspiel is celebrating its 75 th anniversary, our mascot is visible in our community and everyone is committed to filling our leagues and bonspiels this year. Our club will be hopping with activity. We are turning sod. This sod turning is the start of a world class curling facility. Our Building committee has worked very hard with the City and Architects to make this facility a Club all members can be proud of. Our Board is working hard on a three year plan for making sure our transition into the new facility is an easy move. They are making some of these ideas a reality now so it will only benefit our Club. If you see them around please stop and give them your ideas as well as thank them for their hard work. Let s have a great normal season. I am sure it will be exciting. Lori Greene Lori Greene, President 3

5 » Welcome from the General Manager I would like to welcome you all to the club for the curling season. For our returning members thanks so much for supporting our club in the past and I can t wait to see you all very soon. If this will be your first year at the club I would like to offer a big welcome and invite you to come down to meet the staff and take a tour of our great facility before curling starts. Whether you are a returning member or new to our club, it is going to be a great year of curling, having fun, seeing old friends and meeting new friends! We have three more seasons of curling to enjoy at our current location before the big move will take place to the Crossings Ice Complex which will be our new home as of the summer of The planning is almost complete and soon construction will begin. I would like to give a huge thank you to the City of Lethbridge for giving us the opportunity to have a new state of the art home and also a huge thanks to our New Building Committee who have worked very hard over the last year with this project. Please visit the website, like us on Facebook, watch your s and watch for information at the club on the progress of the new Crossings Ice Complex, future home of the one and only Lethbridge Curling Club! It has nearly been three years that I have been your General Manager at the club and I would like to thank each and every member. We truly have an incredible club in all areas. Thanks to Geordie and Merle for giving us great curling ice to play this game we love so much. Thanks to Maggie for always looking after us all in the lounge and restaurant. Thanks to Nanette for giving our club a pro shop and office that we all can visit and enjoy. The biggest thanks have to go to all the volunteers that make our club what it is. From our amazing Board of Directors to the volunteers that help with spiels and curling clinics, we are so blessed with terrific people that are always there when you need help! While we hear of rumors of other sporting organizations and even curling clubs struggling over the past few years I am proud to let everyone know that we are holding steady in most leagues and actually seeing growth in some other areas. I am so happy that our Little Rockers and Junior Curling programs have nearly tripled in size over the past couple of years. We have introduced new leagues like the Rookie League and the Friday Open League with its segments to accommodate our curlers busy schedules. I am also extremely excited to welcome back the University of Lethbridge Mixed Curling Club to our club, you have been missed and we are so happy to have you back! These are just a few of the positive things happening at the club and we will continue to try and give all members and guests the best experience possible when you walk in the doors. It has been a great summer but I am ready for the club to start rocking again! Round up your team or better yet ask your friends to come down and give this great sport a shot. I am sure they will find the experience at the club not only a terrific one but an incredible value for their recreational dollar. Thanks again to all of you for making the Lethbridge Curling Club a club I am so proud to be a part of. Dave Manser Dave Manser, General Manager 5

10 Lethbridge Seniors Curling Club (LSCC) «On behalf of the Lethbridge Curling Club (LCC) and our LSCC Executive, I welcome you either back or to our club for the 2013/2014 season. The Senior Club does not have teams, it is completely composed of individuals placed by a computer program for each square and bonspiel, so you do not have to join a team to belong to our club. After each square, our members are put back into the computer for the next round and a completely different team. We had a very good year last year with 8 new members joining us, totaling 125 members. We hope to continue to grow and we encourage you to talk to your friends and family to come out and join us. We offer a free two day instruction clinic in the fall to anyone who would like to try curling, no obligation to join. We have found that if you have not been on the ice for quite a few years, like, say, High School, it is nice to try being on the ice again to see if you can do it without having to join. Many of our members have started to use the stick to throw the rocks and it seems that they are better curlers now than they ever were, so if knees are a problem, try this new method out at our clinic. (See below) We will have our four regular squares and four bonspiels. The Kergan is in the fall session, the Ham and Turkey just before the December break, the Seniors Open in February and the Club Championship at the end of the season. Bonspiels are not a part of the squares and players do not have to enter them. Our social events, besides coffee after each game are as follows: The New-Comers Luncheon is for every new curler and is free for them The Christmas Social is at the end of the Ham and Turkey Spiel. We host a Welcome Back Luncheon after the December Break. We contact all the curlers who have had to leave our club for various reasons to join us for lunch at a nominal cost. These people have built our club and it is our honour to welcome them back. Registration starts August 15th and goes till the clinic s at the start of October. Seniors only register their name, not as a team, as we rotate our teams throughout the year. Special requests may be made and the executive will make any final decisions. We are again hosting a FREE curling instruction (or re-fresher) course to all our members and potential new members. We have this offered for two days at the start of October from 1 pm to 3 pm each day. You may come for either one day or both, the only equipment you need is some clean (very clean) shoes and slacks which will allow you to stretch out in.

Social CHRISTMAS EVE CHRISTMAS DAY BOXING DAY 29 YULETIDE BONSPIEL NEW YEAR S EVE New Curling Club «The Crossings Ice Complex is on its way! The consultants, architects, City of Lethbridge officials and your own New Building Steering Committee have hard at work on the planning of the new Crossings Ice Complex. It is going to be amazing! We are getting everything we have now plus many more things in the new curling club. The big move will happen during the summer of 2016 with our first season at the new and improved LETHBRIDGE CURLING CLUB starting in September of 2016! We all love our old curling club and will miss it very much but it is a very old building and is incredible hard and expensive to keep in operating condition. We should all be thankful to the City of Lethbridge for this new curling club which is fully funded through Provincial and National grants. Our other option was to somehow raise about $15 million dollars ourselves and build our own facility for our club, not an option that sounds very fun. So please check out our website for updates on the progress of the Crossings Ice Complex and also for the process that has lead us to where we are today with this project. Facebook updates, s and informational products will be setup at the club for all of us to see. 16» Rock Solid
