Chicago Curling Club

The Chicago Curling Club is located in Northbrook, Illinois, about 15 miles north of Chicago. It offers curling for men and women from October through March annually. The club was founded in 1948. Annual tournaments include the Senior Men's Bonspiel (December), the Men's Bonspiel (January) and two women's Bonspiels. In odd numbered years the club hosts a mixed bonspiel in February.

The club hosted the 2010 United States Curling Association Mixed Nationals.

A small room in the club's building houses the American Curling History Museum.

Board meetings of the Illinois Curling Association are usually held at the Chicago club mostly for logistical reasons, namely large meeting room availability and central location relative to the other Illinois clubs.

    Must we really see Chicago in order to be educated?
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The sucking milk from this our body sends through
    jolts of light; the son, the father,
    sharing mother’s joy
    That brings a softness to the flower of the awesome
    open curling lotus gate I cup and kiss
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
