Membership

Membership is required at curling events, with the exception of Open House events, which are held several times throughout the year to expose the community to the sport of curling. A portion of the membership fees are paid to the Grand National Curling Club (GNCC) as the Regional Governing Body and the United States Curling Association (USCA) as the National Governing Body for curling in the U.S. Liability insurance and equipment purchases are also funded through membership dues.

Several different types of membership are available:

  • Full Membership: full, unrestricted member for the year. Dues are $120 per year
  • Trial Membership: full member for the first half of the season only. Dues are $60. Intended for
    curlers that are unsure they want to commit to a full year; A trial membership can be converted to a full
    membership at any time by paying the $60 balance.
  • Social Membership: a restricted membership for the year, limited to 10 curling events. Intended for
    curlers that do not expect to curl regularly, but still want to be active and involved. Dues
    are $75 annually and can be converted to a full membership at any time by paying the $45 balance.
  • Youth Membership for $60 per year

Help Us Purchase A Stone

Curling Stones are very expensive. A Brand new curling stone can cost as much as $650 each, and 16 stones are needed for each sheet. The three sets of stones we are using at the Ham were previously used at the Cape Cod Curling Club in Falmouth, MA, but are still in wonderful shape for many more years of good curling. We raised enough money to purchase one full set outright, and were given a loan to cover the cost of the other two sets ($9600 total). We would like to pay off the loan and own all three sets free and clear, and that is where you come in.

A donation of $250 will allow us to purchase one stone. Your name or business name will be engraved onto a brand-new handle and mounted to the curling stone, commemorating your donation, and reminding all future curlers at the Ham Arena of your support to help get curling started here in the Mt. Washington Valley. The engraved handle will be kept for the life of the stone. If you are interested in showing your support for the Mount Washington Valley Curling Club, you may download and fill out a Stone Handle Purchase Form here.

Only $250 per Stone!
