I have mentioned this to a couple of people at past M&G's. My curling club (Tam Heather (401 & Morningside)) has these events called Jitneys:
"Jitneys
A Jitney is a fun night in which anyone (curlers and non-curlers) can come out to the club, rent one or more sheet(s) of ice, socialize with friends old and new and have fun playing the game of curling. They are organized by the Mixed Section and are run on Saturday nights throughout the season. No experience is required and you do not have to be a member of Tam Heather to enjoy these fun nights.
Each booking entitles your group to about 2 hours of ice time, a cash bar, after game snacks and a DJ. All equipment, brooms, grippers and sliding tape will be provided by the club; you will need to bring a clean pair of running shoes, (street shoes are not allowed on the ice surface) and warm comfortable clothing.
There are usually 2 draws on each evening we host a Jitney, one at 7 p.m. and one at 9 p.m. Plan to come a little early to get your group ready for going on the ice."
The next one is on Feb 28. I was thinking maybe do a little M&G, do some dinner and then go curling @ 9:00. If the majority would prefer to do it at 7:00, that's fine as well. We would probably practice to get to know what we are supposed to do for an hour and then have a game for about an hour. We need at least 6 (my wife & I will be there to help all the new curlers) more people to start but if we get more, all the better. Try to get back to me by the 1st and let me know if you can make it and if you have curled before (me and Jen may need a little help if we get big #'s). Also let me know if you want to do the M&G and then dinner or just straight curling. Cost per person is $15.
