Beausejour Mens Bonspiel

The Beausejour Mens Bonspiel is being held on Jan 10-12, 2025. See the poster above for more details or go the event page by clicking here.

Two-Person Stick Bonspiel Full

We are currently at our maximum of 24 teams for the 2-person stick bonspiel being held on Jan 31-Feb 1.

We are still taking names for a waiting list in case any teams have to withdraw. Please email the club at beausejourcurlingclub@gmail.com to get your name on the waitlist. Do not send payment until requested.

No-Tick Rule

It was decided by the Board last year that the “no-tick” rule would be implemented for both league play and bonspiels beginning at the start of the 2024-2025 season. The rule is as follows:

If, prior to the delivery of the sixth stone of an end, a delivered stone causes, either directly or indirectly, an opposition stone in the Free Guard Zone (FGZ) which is touching the centre line to be moved to an off-centre line position, the non-offending team has the option to:

(i) remove the delivered stone from play, and replace all stones that were displaced to their positions prior to the violation taking place; or

(ii) leave all stones where they came to rest.

If a stone is touching at least part of the centre line marking, it is considered on the centre line.

Board Secretary Required

We are still in need of a secretary to fill out our Executive for the Board of Directors. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Jarrett at sjpowers@mymts.net.

Volunteer Opportunities

Thursday Mens league is looking for a team (or part of a team) to organize their Christmas event. Please talk to Robert Lidster if you are interested in taking that on.

We are hosting the Senior Mens Regional competition on Dec 14 and 15 this year. We will be looking for a couple of bartender volunteers for that weekend. Exact shift times are TBA as we don’t have the draw schedule yet. If you are interested, please contact Jarrett Powers.

Ecole Edward Schreyer School and the Beausejour Curling Club are hosting the Manitoba High School Provincial Curling Championships on Feb 13-15, 2025 (Thursday to Saturday). We are looking for volunteer timekeepers to assist with this event (the high school will also be providing some volunteers). A total of 62 timekeeper shifts need to be filled between the two groups. There are evening shifts on Thursday and Friday as well as shifts on Saturday for those of you who work during the day. Training will be provided. Two timekeeping shifts will satisfy your volunteer bond for the year. If you are interested in this job, please email the club at beausejourcurlingclub@gmail.com and we will create a list of volunteers. Include your email address and if you are available for daytime shifts on Thursday/Friday. We are also in need of someone to coordinate the volunteers and shifts for this event. If you are able to help with this job or would like more information, please contact Jarrett Powers. No bartenders are required for this event as it is a high school event and no alcohol can be served.

Note that all bartenders must have their Serving It Safe certificate to be behind the bar. Helpers without a certificate can clear glasses but must not be behind the bar at any time. You must have your certificate on you during your shift. Volunteers doing bar shifts should bring their certificates to Lucy (our bar manager) who will take a photo of it and keep it in a binder at the bar. Serving It Safe certificates now expire after 5 years so make sure yours is current. Any bar questions should be directed to the bar manager.

About Us

Beausejour Curling Club Mission Statement

The BCC provides, to curlers of all ages and abilities in the Eastman Region, a family oriented experience in an outstanding facility.

We are a 6-sheet club located in the Beausejour Sportsplex in Beausejour, Manitoba. Our club includes the Icebreaker Lounge which features a bar with views of all the sheets as well as monitors with overhead views of the houses at both ends. There is also a lower viewing area that provides ice-level views.

We have evening leagues for men, ladies, and mixed teams. There is drop-in curing every Tuesday morning for those looking for a little fun and exercise as well as a 2-person stick curling league on Thursday afternoons. Finally, we operate an After-School curling program on Mondays for children in grades 4 to 8. We are also the host facility for the Curling Academy program run by École Edward Schreyer School for kids in grades 9 to 11.
