WE WANT YOU! For the February 4th, 6 week mini league!

December 31, 2015 by Pam In Featured, Uncategorised

The 6 week mini-league is starting again on Feb 4th, 2016 (alternating draw times of 6:50pm and 9:10pm) It is a great opportunity for beginner teams to introduce themselves to league life playing in this short but sweet social league. Some fantastically fun teams have already signed up and we have room for two more. The first week has basic instruction for those who are interested, or a fun game for those ready to do so. It’s a 5 week round robin after that. If you have a team of 4 folks that would like to join in, contact Melinda at melinda@marpolecurling.ca to sign up now. $85.00 per person. It’s a great way to see what curling is all about and enjoy what the club has to offer both on and off the ice.

Cafe Staff Required

We are looking for a great Part time person to fit in with our wonderful kitchen staff. Hours would be a part time shift or two a week as well as occasional weekend Bonspiel shifts. It is seasonal but we are booked through until the beginning of April. Did I mention tips? All of our catering staff gets a share. So if you have cooking and cash handling experience to work an easy lunch or early dinner shift and catering experience contact Melinda at melinda@marpolecurling.ca ASAP. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
