1. The following statement is effective immediately and will be implemented going forward.

   With the opening of the Curling Club for the 2024-2025 season, we must address the safety and operational guidelines for the Club during and after weather events. These guidelines are designed to ensure the safety of all members and the integrity of the facility.

   Guidelines for Closure:

   1. Wind Conditions: The Curling Club will be closed if wind speeds reach 70 KPH (kilometers per hour) or higher.
   2. Snow Loads: The Curling Club will be closed if snow accumulates to a depth of 1 foot or more.

   These parameters are being put in place to ensure safety, especially in the case of high winds and heavy snow.

   Notification Process:

   • CMP Park will notify the Club by email when a closure is imminent due to weather conditions.
   • Members: It is vital that your email address is up to date in the Curling Club Manager system.
   • League Chairs: When a closure is announced, the League Chairs will forward the notification to their core groups.

   Important Notice on "No People Inside":

   • When the park indicates “no people inside,” this means that no one is to enter the building, regardless of their role.
     • No Ice Technicians
     • No Keyholders
     • No Teams (practice or scheduled ice sessions)

   Anyone found disobeying this order will have their key privileges suspended, and the key will not be returned.

   Immediate Action:

   Please be aware that weather conditions are expected to change over the next few days, and a closure could be implemented. We encourage all members to monitor their email closely during this period.

   Further updates and more details will be provided as we continue to refine these procedures.

   Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Registration System Now Operational!

We apologize for the long delay in opening the online registration system, but we have made significant changes in the league and fee structures, and we have therefore had to make significant changes in the online system.

After some teething pains, we have completed testing and the system is now good to go, including the credit card payment system.

All you need to do is click on the green Member Login button on the www.chestercurlingclub.ca website and then click on the following link at the top of the page following login.

"PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO COMPLETE YOUR ONLINE MEMBERSHIP SIGN-UP"

As a former member, you will just need to review and confirm the personal information that is currently in our member database. If you have moved or changed any of your contact information, then this is your chance to correct things and make sure that you don't miss the latest news from the club or that phone call from your skip or opponents that the game tonight is going to be cancelled. Please check your information carefully to prevent any errors. It is very important that your correct birth date is in the database because your registration fee will be calculated based on your age and the number of leagues that you sign up for.

For details of the membership types and fees, please go to Chester Curling Club - Types and Fees . Once you have confirmed your personal information then proceed to the next page and select the leagues/activities that you wish to play in. You may pick as many or as few as you want, and your fee will be charged accordingly. If there is any doubt about whether you are planning to play in the second or third seven-week session, then please only pick one session to avoid being charged the full season fee. You will be able to register for those other sessions at a later date, but you will be charged the sessional fee for each session at that time. Please note that paying for each session individually does result in a larger overall fee if you pay for all three sessions individually rather than paying the full season fee all at once.

Once you have picked your leagues, then you must accept the conditions of the online waiver form to complete your registration. Then you can make your payment using any of the payment methods including credit cards or e-transfer online, or cash or cheques at the club.

You may notice that the Club 200 ticket option is no longer on the registration form. Unfortunately, we have had to remove it from the online system as online sales and payment are contrary to the conditions of our lottery license. We do hope that you will continue to support the Club 200 fundraiser by buying your tickets at the bar during the season.

Remember, fundraising efforts help us to keep our membership fees reasonable.

Please note that the interactive nature of the registration process has made it difficult to use a paper form. If you are unable to access a computer or you are having difficulty using the online system on your own, then please come to the club during one of the registration nights or any time when the bar is open during nighttime leagues, and someone will be able to guide you through the process. Monday, October 21, and Tuesday, October 22, at 7 PM.
