We need your help in recruiting teams to the OCC Wednesday Open Cash League!
As it stands, there are 20 teams registered in our Wednesday Open Cash League.
Over the past few years, this league has had a decline in team registration. Now that we have had one ‘normal’ season post-pandemic, the Board is taking serious action to rectify the registration of this league. We will be conducting outreach and advertising over the next few weeks. As you know, the Ottawa Curling Club relies on membership fees and bar/kitchen sales as its primary revenue generators.
As a special incentive, any currently registered member who recruits a new team to join the Cash League (4 paying members registered) will receive $500 in Bar Bucks.
Do you know younger up-and-coming curlers? The club will offer U21 players that join the Cash League a 40% discount on membership fees. We also offer some financial support through our Team Support Policy to competitive teams that curl out of the Ottawa Curling Club.
The fine print- Bar Bucks incentive and U21 discount are at the discretion of the Board and Club Manager. New teams may include former members, but must be substantively new. Questions? Ask the Club Manager. Applicable to Cash League only.
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2022-23 CURLING SEASON
Registration is well underway for the 2022-23 curling season. We are thrilled to be planning for a normal curling season after three interrupted seasons! Just a reminder that all members must be fully paid by September 16, 2022. After this date, a non-refundable late fee of $100 will be added to the fees owing. Regular league curling is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 26, 2022. Currently, we have availability in both the Wednesday Cash League and the Saturday Morning Open League.
2022-23 REFUND POLICY

After this date, refunds cannot be guaranteed.
