Chester Curling Club Recreational Opportunities – Clarification

On Wednesday, we announced some new opportunities for members to join curling “bubbles” which will allow them to take part in recreational scrimmages that are permissible under current health restrictions.  There were some formatting issues with our email and the specific direction to members was difficult for some to find as it was only in the second last paragraph of a relatively long email.  We are therefore issuing this clarification.

Any member of the curling club that would like to take part in curling starting next week is to choose one (and only one) of the curling “bubbles” listed below and contact the coordinator to express interest in participating.  Requests can be made on an individual or team basis, as capacity allows and priority will be given to people who normally participated in the corresponding league that was in place prior to the introduction of health restrictions.

The size of the bubbles is limited by public health restrictions to 25 people.  As the bubbles approach the maximum capacity, we may have to look at more than one draw on a popular night, asking folks to move to another bubble that is not yet at capacity or creating an additional bubble on Monday nights.  Once the bubbles have been set, coordinators will provide instructions to bubble members about final timing and other logistical arrangements.

Because this is a temporary arrangement, we ask for the patience and understanding of all members as we sort things out. 

For more details on the background for this decision and these arrangements, please refer to the Chester Curling Club email sent at 4:43 PM on January 13.
