The Tillsonburg and District Curling Club opened in 1954. This 4 sheet club is located at its original site at 130 Concession St. E Tillsonburg On.This area of Ontario produced much of Canada’s tobacco and the club incorporated that into their logo, which is a flue cured tobacco leaf. The club boosts a membership close to 300 full members as well as many part time members in a town of 15,000.

Curling Rules SAFETY Warm-up properly before a game of curling, as this greatly reduces the risk of strain or stretch injury. Wear shoes with soft rubber soles for maximum grip and be very careful when you move over the ice. You will find it very slippery until you get used to it, and it is very hard when fallen on. Do not step over stones and always step onto the ice with your gripper foot first. Wait until you have stopped sliding forward before attempting to stand up, and then rise on your gripper foot – not your slider foot.Curling stones must never be carried or lifted. Park stones that are out of play and after an end has been completed. Make sure that no one is in the way when stones are being cleared. Move stones carefully, using you feet or a brush to guide them. CLOTHINGIce rinks are necessarily cold; so make sure you have plenty of warm clothes. It is always wise to have an extra sweater. It is always important to have good fitting and warm shoes with soft rubber soles. Wear extra socks or knee length stocking if necessary to keep you legs warm. Curling trousers must be made from a stretch material or be loose enough to cause no restriction in the curling delivery. Jeans are wholly unsuitable for curling. Make sure that your footwear is absolutely clean before stepping onto the ice.CURLING ETIQUETTE Always arrive at the ice on time and be prepared to start curling when the ice is ready. Be ready to deliver your stone when your turn comes. Never cross in front of another player when they are in the hack and about to play, or in front of a running stone. Always stand still, at the side of the sheet, when an opponent is in the hack. Do not move into the centre of the ice before or after the opposition stone has been played. Allow the player and his team to see the shot. Do not stand behind the house or inside the house unless you are the skip or acting skip.Skips should stand behind the house when the opposition is delivering. Never do anything, such as moving behind the opposition skip or talking across the hack, which might distract the opposition (or your own) player on the hack.Do not damage the ice surface by banging your brush or resting your hand on the ice after your delivery. If you are a sweeper and one of your team is in the hack then you should position yourself back in line with the player and to the side. When your player begins his downswing you should start to move up the ice and be ready to sweep when necessary. On the ice your skip is in charge – do not argue (at least until after the game!). Curling games are traditionally started and finished by shaking hands.SOME BASIC RULES The Free Guard Zone will apply for all games. This zone is defined as the area between the hog line and the tee line, excluding the house, and no stone lying within this zone may be removed from play by the opposition until the first four stones played in any end have come to rest.All players may sweep any stone belonging to their team from Tee line to Tee line, but only skips may sweep behind the Tee line. You must clearly release the stone before it reaches the near hog-line, which is 33 feet from the hack. A shot may only be replayed if in its delivery the stone has not reached the near Tee line, which is 12 feet from the hack. Any running stone which in the course of sweeping (or otherwise) is touched by a member of the side to which it belongs, or by his or her equipment, is burned and must be removed from play immediately by the offending side.A stationary stone in play, which is accidentally moved, is replaced to its original position to the satisfaction of both skips (note that only burned running stones are removed from play). Any stone coming to rest on the side-lines or having crossed the back line and lying clear must be removed from play immediately. However, a stone may cross the side-line and come back into play. Any stone that has not cleared the far hog-line is not in play and must therefore be removed, unless it has touched another stone in play. No stone may be measured until the last stone of the end has been played.Sweeping must be across the full running surface of the stone, and must finish clearly to either side of the stone. Any stone set in motion by a played stone can only be swept by the side to which it belongs, except behind the Tee line where either skip can sweep any stone. If the last stone played in an end has come to a halt when the bell rings then another end is played.SKIPS’ CALLS Skips should signal the shot to be played with its hand (turn) and weight, and will call the sweeping for both the line (direction) of the stone and its weight (distance it will travel). Good sweeping straightens the direction of the stone, and increases its length of travel by as much as 15 feet on keen (fast) ice.Shot Indicated by ... In-turn the Skip holding out the right hand. Out-turn the Skip holding out the left hand. Draw the Skip pointing with the brush to where your stone is to come to rest. Strike the Skip pointing with the brush to the stone to be removed. Guard the Skip holding the brush shoulder-high and parallel to the ice. Freeze similarly to a draw. Raise the Skip pointing with the brush to the stone to be moved, then to the spot it is to be moved to. Hit & Roll the Skip pointing with the brush to the stone to be removed, then to the spot to which your stone is to run. Sweeping The Skip’s call for sweeping is SWEEP or HURRY or YES or ON. The Skip’s call to stop sweeping is WHOA or NO or OFF. Weight The Skip will point to the back line if your stone is to be played at a weight to reach the back of the house, to the hack if it should be faster and the barrier for faster still. Barrier weight shots may also be signalled by drawing a hand across the waist and a strike weight shot by touching the shoulder. Stones in play For an opponent’s stone the Skip will point to the stone with the brush and then will point outwards with the hand. For your own stones the Skip will point inwards towards the chest.
