Our apologies that the website has not been kept up to date during the pandemic. The ice rink was forced to close for much of this time. But we are back now, and hope to maintain regular posts for the rest of the season.
Since the restart players have enjoyed curling on good, fast ice. Also, a new space heating system was installed over the summer, although this has has not been needed as yet.
The (five team) club autumn league is already well advanced. Bill’s team leads the pack, but there is still everyting to play for in the remaining three sessions. See the “competitions” page for resuts and current standings.

Ian’s trophy will be presented at our next AGM and prizegiving ceremony.
This was an unusual competition in that it was played under the new (and hopefully temporary) social distancing guidelines for Covid19. The most obvious change was only one sweeper, but a number of other precautions were also introduced in order to keep people safe. This meant that the rink was quieter than usual, but some good curling was enjoyed by all.
