The Patch is the place everyone goes to party when the games are done – and during the entire week at the Ford World Men’s you’ll find the party rocking from 11:00 am until the late hours of the night.

Situated in the Victoria Curling Club, adjacent to the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, you can dance to the sounds of some of Canada’s hottest bands and share a great selection of food and refreshments with the most passionate fans in the sporting world.

For those who have a little too much fun, options will be available to ensure a safe ride home.

The celebration gets off to an exciting start with Fan Appreciation Night, March 29 in the Patch.  The athletes from all 12 teams will be there to meet the fans and join the kick-off for a week of non-stop party action.  An exclusive invitation is included in the price of every full event pass.	The curlers truly enjoy spending time with the fans – and one of the best places to make it happen is the Up Close and Personal interviews featuring the competitors and personalities from the curling world.  It’s an entertaining discussion in a relaxing environment where you can ask the questions… and you’ll be surprised by the candor of the responses!
Looking for an autograph or a photo with your favourite curlers?  Just drop by for the Team Autograph sessions where a different group sits down each day to sign on the line.  If you miss out on any during the week, they’ll be back for an all-team session on championship weekend.	Here’s the chance to play for a world championship of your own!  The Cool Shots competition will be contested throughout the week in the Patch.  Sign up for free and take your shot at daily cash prizes in the small-scale version of the grand old game.  Plus each day’s winner qualifies to play for the big money in the finals on championship weekend.
