Curling Etiquette Reminder

Wolf's Winfield Wisdoms #2


Please help keep our ice clean!


The painted sideboards in the club are not meant for walking. Stepping on the painted walkway can cause paint chips to stick to your shoes and end up on the ice.



If you need a break or are feeling tired, please use the benches — they’re there for you!

Sponsor Appreciation and Opportunities


The Winfield Curling Club relies on yearly sponsorships to help balance our budget and provide funds for our contingency fund. We are extremely grateful for all of the support we have received from local businesses and current members over the years, but we are always striving to increase this revenue stream. We are always on the lookout for new companies that would like to purchase space for advertising signs on our walls or in the ice, and we can always make use of more prize donations for our bonspiels. More information can be found on the club website under the “Sponsors” heading.


If you know of any businesses that might be interested in supporting the club, please provide them with this link:

Special Thanks to Our Bonspiel Prize Donors


For many years, different local businesses have donated prizes for our bonspiel prize tables and the WCC Board of Directors would like to thank all donors for their support. The funds generated from these prize draws helps the club with operating costs and other contingencies that arise. 


Three companies have been especially generous with donations for each of our regular bonspiels and they deserve special recognition. Every year, the following companies continue to support our club.  


  • Black Mountain Golf Club provides passes for eight rounds of golf
  • Lake Country Liquor Store provides four $100 certificates
  • Okanagan Wash Zone (Rocket Wash) provides four $100 gift cards


The WCC Board is extremely grateful for this ongoing support and hopes WCC members will support these businesses when possible.
