The Aksarben Curling Club hosts multiple bonspiels every year. The Halloween costume-themed Bone-Spiel Fun Spiel kicks off our curling season every October. We have a Women's Funspiel in November to grow the community among women curlers. Our club's long-running signature bonspiel, the Irish Open Bonspiel, is held every March, which includes a novice and an open/experienced division. We also help support the Cornhusker State Games in providing a curling event during their annual summer gamer in July.

Calling all women curlers! Join Aksarben Curling's women for a day of curling and fun!
We'll have a pre-event meet-and-greet and then curl together for 2 hours. Optional half-hour curling skills including introduction to skipping will be available for those who want it.
We'll also have info about USWCA (United States Women’s Curling Association) activites and what programs other curling clubs have for women.
