About
Us
The North Hill Curling Club has operated in Calgary since 1927
and caters to
curlers (shareholders and the Public) from all over Calgary. Our business is solely as a curling club which
operates from late September through to early April. Most of our users are involved in league play; although
we also handle individual, family, social groups and Corporate events as our ice availability
permits.
The North Hill Community Curling Club is a not for
profit entity governed by a volunteer
Board of Directors. Daily Operations are managed by paid staff.
The Club provides ice for its patrons, augmented by a cafeteria, lounge and the ability to provide curling
lessons.
We have membership categories; which permit
members of the public to curl at our facility. Our lease with the City require us to have at least 50% "public"
play and we are well above that.
A shareholder is someone who has
filed a shareholder application to the Club which
has been approved by the Board of Directors. Cost currently is $200 ($100 for the redeemable share & $100
initiation fee which is not redeemable)). A social fee of $25 is due should the shareholder not curl in
an evening league during a season.
A Shareholder in return receives
certain privileges: vote at general meetings, serving on Club Board of Directors, reduced dues for evening leagues
and, an elevated priority for inclusion in the evening leagues.
While fee reduction will be honoured
for all new shareholders approved prior to December 1 of the then current season; priority for league inclusion
will only be recognized by those applications approved the previous fiscal years.
Typically, several evening teams include players
that are not shareholders. The difference is primarily a slightly higher fee and lesser priority should
the team be relegated to the wait-list.
Shareholders who do not play in the evening leagues during a
season are obligated to pay the social fee to retain his/her share in good standing. Should
the fee not be paid, the obligation is applied against the share's value. Once the share's value is
depleted, the share will be voided.
The evening leagues maintain a Spares List for the weeknight leagues. If you are interested, please contact the Club at
403-277-3158.
