Happy Thursday Woodstock Curlers, 

The ice has melted and spring is right on our doorstep! We are excited to share a few things with you as we continue wrapping up our season and preparing for next year. 

1) Curler Survey 

Each year the board asks you to provide feedback on how you think this past season went. The board recognizes that members have amazing ideas for how we can continue to grow and expand the centre, and how we can engage the Woodstock community. We are asking that you please take 5 minutes to fill out our short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BLP7Y8T

2) Installment Plan Now Available 

Given the abrupt end to our season in light of recent world events, some of you may be wondering about the financial stability of the centre. While we did experience a loss in revenue due to the early closure, we are happy to report that we are in a position where we are able to weather this storm, mostly thanks to the amazing season we had. That said, the centre does rely on the income of our installment plan to help cover off-season expenses. The installment plan is a win-win situation for both you and the centre. You get to break up your registration fees over 6 months all while ensuring the financial security of our curling centre. How do you sign up for the installment plan you ask? Using our new online registration system!  

New Registration System 

We are excited to announce that we have a new, upgraded registration system. Our new registration system Curling I/O by Curling Canada allows you to create a curler profile to manage your contact information.This means you only have to tell us once where you live and how to get in touch with you! (Not every year like the past 50 years). Next season, you will be able to check out league schedules, and look up spares using this system as well.

Using this system, can create a profile, register for curling (under products),  and sign up for leagues (under leagues). Here are the steps to sign up for the installment plan. To help you decide what membership you want, you can also check out our league information. You don't need to sign up for your leagues today. We will get in touch with you in September for league sign up.

Steps to sign up for the installment plan: 

1) Go to our website: woodstockcurling.com. 
2) Hit the registration button available on the home page (or go to Go Curling-Register Now)  
3) Sign up for an account (either with a Gmail, or request a sign-on link using your preferred e-mail) 
4) Once you are logged in to your account, create a profile under (Account-Profile). Please complete the contact information. All information collected here will be held in accordance to Curling Canada's privacy statement. If you have more than one curler in your household and you would like to use one account, you can add additional curlers under the profile section. 
5) Once you have a profile, select Products to register. Pick your registration of choice and add it to your cart. This will take you to your cart. 
6) Once in your cart, select Information required. Select your profile to register with. Review the contact information you entered and hit Save and Continue. 
7) From the dropdown menus- indicate how you would like to pay (E-transfer, Cash or Cheque). For the installment plan, select yes from the “Would you like to pay in 6 equal installments” drop down. 
8) If you would like to add a locker to your fee, check it off under Add-ons. 
9) Click save and continue. 
10) You will be sent an email for your records. Payments can be e-transferred to payments@woodstockcurling.com. Cheques are payable to Woodstock Curling Centre and can be dropped off at the centre. 

New Capital Fund 

You will notice that we have added a capital fund contribution to everyone's registration this year. The amount added for the capital fund represents the annual increase to fees that occur to cover the cost of inflation. In order to ensure we are able to maintain quality curling in Woodstock, we need to start preparing for ice plant and facility upgrades down the road.  We have added a 3% increase to our membership fees with that balance being directed to our capital fund to support future projects. 

If anyone needs any assistance using this new system, please contact Alison Pegg at 519-852-6217 or Danielle Walker at 226-228-5116. 

We hope that you all are well and are doing well in these strange and unique times.  We, like all of you, wish we could be getting ready for Spring Fling and enjoying the last few weeks of our season, but we know that these short term pains will give us long term gains! 

We will be in touch next week about the winner of our elimination draw for a free membership as well as our plans for facilities updates over the summer so stay tuned! 

If anyone has any questions, please reach out to us at curl@woodstockcurling.com. 

We wish you all a safe and healthy summer!

Your WCC Board of Directors
