About Huntley Curling Club

Huntley Curling Club is in Carp at 199 Langstaff Road, we’ve been there since the late 1970s. In addition to four sheets of ice for curling we have a full stocked bar and lounge area plus a full kitchen for occasional food service.

Value for Your Sponsorship Dollar

Huntley Curling Club will show your logo and contact information in all the major traffic areas – on the ice, in the lounge, and on the website:

You’ll look great in the ice

Your logo will be embedded into our ice surface for the entire season…. Just like you see on TV!

Huntley will take care of making the silk screen necessary for your logo to go into the ice surface.

Wall Poster with Your Contact Information

Complimenting your logo in in the ice is a 32 inch by 32 inch poster on the wall of our ice shed. This is visible from both the lounge and the ice surface.

Most sponsors make this post like their business card:

• Logo
• Contact name
• Phone number
• Email address
• Website address

On the Website

On Huntley’s website there is a slider at the bottom of each page. In addition to your website logo display, there is a link to your website which provides additional benefits:

• Easy for website visitors to find your business
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - having a link to your website enhances your profile with search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

In the Lounge

Huntley’s lounge is an active place where members socialize before and after curling games. There’s a TV screen with club announcements. On that screen we also display sponsor logos
