The 2025 Carp Fair was a big success for us this year. We had beautiful weather and really big turn out of visitors to the fair. Our BBQ tent worked super hard and did an amazing job. We almost sold out our entire stock which is amazing feat. Our breakfast service is growing with each and every year we do it. We set a new record with by servicing 220 plates this year which was a 40 plate increase from last year.

This brings us to our newest event. The Carp Fair Curling and Cows bonspiel! It was huge success. With a full complement of 16 teams the ice was full from morning till night. We had great food served up by Toogood’s kitchen and fantastic music performed by Jaxstraw. Teams expressed how good the event was and that they had never participated in anything like it before. Teams competed for either the A or B championship all day Saturday and playoffs on Sunday. After much battling our own Team McLean came out on top to be the first champion of Carp Fair curling. We were proud to have Joyce Trafford come out from the fair board to present our winners with trophy. Our B champion was the Ian Biggs team out of the North Grenville curling club.

I would like to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers this year, without them we wouldn’t be able to do these events.

An exciting event is happening over in Kemptville in late October / early November. More information is available through the event's website. Scores and updates during the event will also be available online.

Registration for next season is now officially open and runs through mid-September, or as leagues reach their maximum capacity. Members returning to a league who register and pay by August 1st guarantee their returning spot in that league. 

Members Must Have Unique Email Addresses

Each member must have a unique email address. A single person cannot sign up their spouse, significant other or children for leagues they may wish to participate in. Most adults and older children have access to their own email address or can create a new Gmail or Yahoo email address to register.

For those registering younger children or wishing to meet the requirement without a separate email address should read this post on our site about Plus Email Addresses which we’ve helped many parents adopt for use at HCC.

The Huntley Curling Club would like to share an important update with our members and community.

Over the past 15 years, Dwayne Lowe and his wife Jackie, have been an integral part of our club and community, ensuring top-quality ice conditions and supporting countless bonspiels, leagues, and events with professionalism and care.  We are incredibly grateful to Dwayne for his years of hard work, commitment, and contribution to the success of our club.

For the upcoming 2025-2026 season, the board is pleased to announce Paul Norman will be taking on head icemaker and the club manager role.

Paul is a very familiar face around the club, having been both on the board of directors and a key member of the ice team for several years. Paul is a trained Level 2 ice technician and continues to take higher level courses. He is also an inaugural member of Curling Canada's new Association of Curling Professionals program, being one of the first graduates as an Associate Pro and he is continuing certification leading to Club Professional, one of the first eight in Canada. Paul's passion, expertise and professional acumen will be a tremendous asset to Huntley and we are very privileged to have him accept this role. 

We look forward to having Dwayne and Jackie remain part of our community and stay tuned for details on an event to honour their contributions to the club.
