The Prince Rupert Curling Club is looking to grow and will be opening up its doors to the public during registration time this year.
The club has begun holding registration for this season's curling leagues, and will be until Friday, Oct. 11. To encourage new curlers to join, the club is holding open house events this week.
"This year we're making a conscious effort to open up to the general public," Corey Kitchen, vice-president of the Prince Rupert Curling Club, said.
The open house events started Tuesday, and will continue tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 9 and tomorrow, Oct. 10, with the club inviting members of the public to curl for free from 7 to 9 p.m.
The PRCC Lounge will also be open.
"If you've ever tried curling or were interested in trying to curl, or if you just want to come down for a pint, you're welcome to," Kitchen said, adding there will be experienced curlers to show people the ropes and assist if needed.
Kitchen said while the club is hoping to register all curlers, it is hoping to get more female curlers to become part of the women's and mixed league this year.
Curling teams are composed of four players, with the skip calling the shots for the lead, second and third on the team. Each player throws two stones per end and sweep twice, with the exception of the skip who does not sweep.
