Last week the Chief Medical Officer of Nova Scotia announced measures to help stop the ongoing spread of COVID-19 in Halifax, which includes extending the closure of gyms and pausing organized sports for an additional week. With this extension, the Mayflower Curling Club will remain closed until December 16. This in turn will CANCEL our week 7 (the final week of the first half of the season).
We hope to resume the season on January 10th with our Skills Clinic. More information on this clinic will follow in the new year.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
We look forward to a better 2021.
Today, the Chief Medical Officer of Nova Scotia announced measures to help stop the ongoing spread of COVID-19 in Halifax, which includes the closure of gyms and pausing organized sports for a two week period. With this announcement, the Mayflower Curling Club will be closed effective November 26 for this mandatory two week period. This in turn will CANCEL our weeks 5 and 6.
A follow up e-mail will be sent advising the league of a confirmed club reopening date, and next schedule Loose Ends curling date.
We hope eveyone stays safe.

COVID-19 Update:
We expect to be curling on a reduced number of sheets this season to ensure curlers can maintain social distance. or that reason we will only be registering 32 Full Members. Anyone registering after this will be placed on a waitlist. As the rules around curling are solidified leading up to the start of the season we will update registered players.
Happy Canada Day! We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe after an unprecedented start to 2020. We hope you are now adjusting to the new normal, and felt this was an appropriate time to update our league on the upcoming season.
At this time, there has been no clear direction or decision to what a 2020-2021 curling season will look like, when it will be allowed to start – if it will be allow to happen at all. In the coming weeks, the Nova Scotia Curling Association along with the Curling Canada and the Mayflower Curling Club will establish rules of play for the upcoming curling season. These new rules could include, but not limited to:
– Reduction of sheets in play to allow for social distancing (Mayflower would close sheets 2 and 4 to allow for a travel path to maintain 6-feet social distance)
– Only one sweeper allowed at all times, including in the house
– No pre-game hand shakes or after game socializing.
With the anticipated rules, the Loose Ends Curling League will open registration for the 2020-2021 season to current members (2019-2020 season players) on July 15th. We will open registration to the broader community on August 1st. At this time, we will only be registering 32 full members (and unlimited spare members). Any full member registrations after 32 will be placed on a wait list. If you plan to return for the 2020-2021 season, we ask that you register before August 1st to ensure your spot in the league. Payment will not be due until October 1st, 2020.
As the rules for curling in the upcoming season become more defined, we will keep the league updated. If you have any question regarding the upcoming season, please feel free to reach out to any of the executive members.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy the summer.
