Highland Community Curling Club is a not-for-profit organization. Membership fees have been established to provide for our viability and success for this season, and future seasons.
Membership is being offered this season to reflect the frequency of play by each member. Fees are structured with two components: a 'base' fee plus 'league' fees. For the 2023-2024 season, the base fee for all membership categories is $300. League fees are added on top of the base fee, on a sliding scale, to encourage members to play in multiple leagues. The cost per game decreases the more you play! The base fee is not charged for our Youth membership categories.
What does this mean for you? ... For all of our returning members, there are no increases to fees for the 2023-2024 season! There are a few membership categories for which fees have been reduced to correct anomalies in our fee structure (highlighted in red).
Plus, there are no capital levies for this season.
HST is applicable to all fees.
