Welcome to the Granite Curling Club

Founded in 1961, the Granite Curling Club (GCC) of Seattle is home to curlers of all abilities, including more national champions than any other club in the USA.

Curling is a winter sport. So right now there is no ice and no Open Houses, Group Events, or Leagues available until fall. However, you can sign up for Bonspiels. Please check back in August for more.

Chips Of Granite

There’s a new Chips of Granite available. It only took 9 months to pull it together, but we’ll blame the Olympics for making everyone procrastinate. Either way, here it is, on-line and everything. If you’re on the mailing list, you’ll be receiving an electronic copy. We’re also sending out a physical copy via USPS to everyone, so check your mailbox! Don’t forget that Sept 20th is rapidly approaching.

League Registration Open

The Registration Form for the 2010-2011 season has been posted to Documents. The Board has established a League Oversubscription Policy, which is also available in Documents.
