Thistle Curlers,

As you are all likely aware, the Province of Manitoba has kept restrictions on sporting events and gatherings to combat the COVID-19 virus, and as such curling clubs are not yet allowed to open. In light of ongoing restrictions, the Thistle Curling Club has decided to suspend operations for the season. Other curling clubs in the city have also made this tough decision.

The Thistle Club will now begin the process of refunding dues paid by curlers so far this season. The thistle is adopting the CurlManitoba refund policy as per their guidelines:
assuming a 6-month season (October 1 – March 31):
• Shut down in first two months – 2/3 refund
• Shut down in months 3-4 – 1/3 refund
• Shut down after month 4 – no refund

The reason we are retaining 1/3 of the team fees is that the Thistle has certain fixed costs whether 1 game is played or 20 games are played. Installation of the curling ice prior to the start of the season is an example of a significant fixed cost outlay that The Thistle pays regardless of how many games are actually played. We hope that curlers find this situation fair for all involved.

For teams that have paid their full dues we will be in touch with team skips on the issuance of refund cheques. Please reach out to your skip (or team contact) with questions about your team’s refund. Conversely, there may be some teams that are in arrears, and we will be in touch with skips to collect any outstanding dues (1/3 of a full season amount).

If teams wish to donate the dues they have paid this season, that option is available and the support would be greatly appreciated.

We realize this season has been difficult for all involved and the Thistle truly appreciates your choice to curl with us and support the club. Please keep safe and let’s come back strong in the fall.

The Thistle Curling Club has released it's COVID-19 guidelines. These guidelines will be under constant review and could change as the situation evolves. Please see this PDF and don't hesitate to email us with any comments or concerns.
