Thank you for your interest in our New Curler Clinic.  We hope that you will find the sport as much fun as we have.  It is a great way to meet new people, and to challenge yourself with a new athletic activity. You will be surprised how quickly the winter will pass by. This note will explain some of the aspects of membership and curling at Mayfield.

Our season runs from about the 1^st of November through the middle of March.  We break the season into three “events” or “sessions” for which you can sign up to curl.  Each session is seven (7) weeks in length.  Initially, new curlers meet on Monday evenings with other new curlers.  This way you can learn the sport, with instruction, in a supportive (and non intimidating) atmosphere.  As an aside, curlers are always polite and encouraging – even when you make a mistake!  You will then be able to sign up for other times in the second and third events.  The New Curler Clinics meet Monday nights at 7:00 PM and lasts about 2 hours.  They begin in early November for six (6) weeks.

Curling is a commitment like any other league sport.  You are expected to show up and of course be on time.  We DO start promptly.

Membership:  Mayfield Curling Club is a private club, and we are very proud of our active and enthusiastic membership.  Mayfield Curling Club is affiliated with The Mayfield Sand Ridge Club, and is located on the Club’s Mayfield Country Club campus in South Euclid, a suburb of Cleveland.  While a number of Mayfield Curling Club’s members are Mayfield Sand Ridge members, membership is not limited to Mayfield Sand Ridge members.  At the end of the 6 week New Curler Clinic, you may apply for membership in the Mayfield Curling Club. First year curlers are billed monthly for four months; thereafter billing is monthly for six months per year.  There is no fee for participation in the 6 week New Curler Clinic.

Dress Code and Equipment:  Proper attire is required of curlers and prospective and new curlers when they are at the curling house and the Mayfield Clubhouse.  When at the Clubhouse, Curling house, and other Mayfield Sand Ridge properties, no jeans are allowed.  The dress code for the Mayfield Clubhouse is “Country Club Casual”, which is defined as casual attire in good taste.  Collared or banded shirts for the men are required.  Unacceptable clubhouse attire include: warm-up suits, gym shorts, tee shirts and tank tops.  Denim of any kind is unacceptable attire anywhere on Mayfield Sand Ridge Club Properties.

Curling (on-ice) attire should be comfortable and practical for the sport, but still needs to adhere to basic dress guidelines.  Casual slacks (e.g. Dockers), curling pants (see Goldline catalog) or nicer track-style pants with collared or banded shirts, turtlenecks, fleece, vests and jackets are preferred over sweatpants, tee shirts or more casual attire.

If you have questions, just ask!  We look forward to seeing you on the ice.  GOOD CURLING!
