Thistle Curling (TC) is a registered non-profit organization that strives to maintain comparable league, program, and operation fees. TC incurs an administrative cost for each member during registration including but not limited to staffing, credit card and debit fees, and equipment expenditures. It is because of these costs that the TC adheres to a refund policy. To receive a refund from TC, a member/parent must make a request via email or in writing and within specified time constraints.
