Refunds back to members are currently being processed as per outlined by your Executive back in the Fall using Curling Canada guidelines. This would be much the same for most Winnipeg clubs.
As members ourselves, your Executive thanks those from the bottom of our hearts who have chosen to show their love for the Fort Garry Curling Club by donating their membership fees. This will help keep your club viable through this very difficult time.
All curling clubs have significant expenses throughout the season and rely on membership dues to get through a season. The Fort Garry has seen huge losses of other revenues due to the pandemic with lost socials, Folklorama, roller derby and the like. There are huge upstart costs each year to put the ice in, which we did this season, along with all other clubs in the hopes of providing good curling and a much needed social outlet for the community. Again, thank you to all those who continue to donate their member fees to our club. It is greatly appreciated!
Thank you again for your support of the Executive during this unprecented season. This season was very hard on all Executive members and we often had to make decisions on short notice using the best information afforded to us with many unknowns. We hope that you all stay healthy and safe and that we can resume a normal season this coming Fall.
Kathryn, Darren, Andrew, Jason, Ed, Dwayne, Steve, Jamie
