Charleswood Senior Mixed Curling League
The Charleswood Senior Mixed Curling League has been in operation since 1970, using the facilities of the Charleswood Curling Club. Originally we were a social club offering activities such as carpet bowling, bridge, cribbage, and a senior’s choir… in addition to curling.
Over the years, interest in activities other than curling has diminished, so now we are primarily a mixed curling club. It is important to note that we have no minimum age requirement. We have several players who are younger than the traditional age limit for senior curling. We encourage anyone who has limited or no curling background to join. Training and coaching is provided.
We stress the word “social.” The league offers mixed recreational, fun curling with no prizes/trophies or playoffs etc. – just good fun and camaraderie for curlers of all levels. Players enter as individuals, not teams. We curl a 36-game season divided into four quarters with the teams reorganized each quarter allowing everyone to get to know one another.
Generally, curlers play at the position they indicate on their registration form and skill level they perform at. Traditional brushes and delivery are used by the majority but stick curlers make up a significant part of our group and are more than welcome to participate.
Draw
Monday and Friday mornings at 9:30 AM starting mid-October and finishing mid-March. We curl four nine-game quarters. The first two quarters are usually completed before Christmas.
For curlers who are not able to commit to a full season, we do accept registration for less than a full season. Preference is given to full-season registrants although every effort will be made to accommodate all registrants.
We also welcome curlers who wish to spare in our league. Spares who are members of the Charleswood Curling Club are not charged but those from other clubs will be charged $5.00 per game, payable when you curl.
Fees for 2025 – 2026
We are not set up for on-line payment so all fees are paid by cheque only. Fee payment is divided into two parts. Payment 1 is for fees for the Charleswood Seniors Curling Club curling season and membership fee for the Charleswood Curling Club.
Full-time curler: $250.00
Part- time curler: $72.00 per quarter
To ensure quality and viable food/canteen service the Charleswood Curling Club Executive requires all curlers to purchase a $25.00 book of food coupons. These coupons are redeemable for food and drink at the canteen. The caterer is a vital part of the curling club. We thank you in advance for your support.
A cheque to the Charleswood Seniors Curling Club shall be made out for these fees and submitted with your registration form.
Refunds of CSCC curling fees are given in certain circumstances, e.g. health problems.
Payment 2 is for Charleswood Curling Club (CCC) membership and Curl Manitoba/Curl Canada fees. Membership fee for CCC is $25.00 and for Curl Manitoba it is $8.00and $5.00 for Curl Canada. You will not have to pay these fees if you have paid this by registering in another CCC league or at another Manitoba curling club.
A separate cheque for these fees is to be made out to the Charleswood Curling Club and paid at time of registration.
To Register
To register, send a request for the registration forms to our membership chair, Ted LeBlond, ([email protected]) Alternatively, you can attend the Charleswood Curling Club registration night which will be held on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025, at 7 p.m. (Registration tables will be set up on the 2nd floor at the Club.)
Please register as early as possible, no later than Monday, September 22nd. Curlers are accepted on a first-come basis. Please note, full-season curlers are given preference over part-season curlers.
Starting in the 2025/26 season the Charleswood Curling Club is implementing member registration by using the on-line Curling I/O management platform. CCC requires you to go on-line at www.curling.io to set up an account and provide basic information similar to our CSCC application. The Curling I/O also will handle your annual membership for Curl Manitoba and Curl Canada and the curling club’s waiver form. For insurance purposes this must be done before you will be allowed to play

Other Activities
Although primarily a curling league, we do hold a Christmas luncheon which is very popular with our members. A gift exchange is part of the fun and adds to the camaraderie.We have also hosted a spring or fall golf outing for our members for the last few years. A most enjoyable day for all who attend.
