In addition to curling leagues, the Almonte Curling Club offers activities to bring members together.
Bonspiels are a fun and exciting part of the curling experience. They are a great way to meet other club curlers, learn from them, maybe share a drink or a meal afterwards. ACC bonspiels welcome curlers from all leagues and at all skills levels. “Get your slider on, and slide right in.” …
In-house skills clinics give ACC members a chance to learn and develop curling knowledge and abilities. We bring in trained coaches and instructors to help you update and upgrade your skills.
All ACC events are run and supported by VOLUNTEERS! What a great way to witness the action and be reimbursed your $80.00 ACC Opt Out Fee. A warm and sincere thank you to all our members who generously volunteer their time and help to make the ACC a positive and welcoming place to be.
