Volunteers Needed for USWCA Senior Natl. Bonspiel

we need you

The Waltham Curling Club will be hosting the USWCA Senior Women’s National Bonspiel here on Wednesday November 30, to Sunday, December 4, 2016.  Help is needed for game timers, ice prep and maintenance, kitchen service and hospitality.  You need not be a member of Waltham Curling Club to volunteer.  Come out and help us put on this major national curling tournament, meet some fun, friendly people and watch some great curling!!  To volunteer, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

This is a major undertaking for our Club and we will need your help.  We have posted the schedule, worksheets and donations sheets on the bulletin board in the Club Room.  Please sign up to help in any way you are able.

We will need ice help for every draw and we will need timers for every game.  We will be using the “Thinking Time” method that allows each skip 30 minutes of thinking time for each 8-end game.  The Illinois Curling Association is loaning us the computers and monitors for each sheet but we will need one timer for each sheet for each game.  That adds up to 57 games, 57 timers.  Equipment will be picked up on Nov. 12 and we will have practice secessions in the next few weeks.

Thanks in advance for your help.  The last time we hosted this event was in 1996.  If you have any questions, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
