Membership
How do I join the Richmond Curling Club?
Prospective members need to create an account on the RCC website (Richmondcurlingclub.ca). This generates a request which goes to the Membership Director; if approved, an email confirming account creation is sent to the provided email address. The account can now be used to complete membership registration and register for leagues (as appropriate). The dues payable, and available payment options, are provided at the end of the registration steps.
When can I join/renew my membership?
The Board of Directors determines when registration for club membership Types is opened for any curling year; you can register at that time. This will be before the start of that curling year). your membership begins on that your date of registration date or on September 1st, whichever comes last. . You can join at any time through the curling season and register for a membership type. If you join after the start of the curling season, your registered membership dues may be pro-rated based on the duration of the season remaining, at the discretion of the Membership Committee.***
Why do I need to create an account on the RCC website?
The RCC has a large and growing membership; we use online services to administer the business of the club, including membership administration; to simplify communications between individuals, teams, and leagues; and to keep our members informed: it’s just too much to do by hand. Your account is used to uniquely identify you;.as a member to record your registered membership status type; help draw convenors administer teams and schedule games; and to allow you to contact other members of the RCC community to do things like arrange for spares, schedule make-up games, etc.
I only want to join if I can get into my favourite League.
League participation is based on availability; the Club cannot guarantee that any League has capacity to accommodate a player. If you are really keen to get into a specific League, make sure you register early to improve your chances.
