Uxbridge & District Curling Club

Veteran and Beginner Curlers

The 2017-2018 season is set to start. You should be getting a phone call soon about your first game.

Beginner curlers please bring very clean shoes that will grip on ice. You might consider purchasing some actual curling shoes. Although a bit pricey, they make a world of difference to your comfort level on the ice. One of sponsors Last Rock is a great place to start looking for something.

Bring a few layers of clothing as your level of sweeping can impact on how warm you get on the ice. You will find that the actual temperature on the ice will feel different from night to night.

Members might consider wearing a helmet. Designers have come up with some stylish helmets that now look like hats (both men and women models).

Finally, if you want some extra help, just ask!

The ice is in and painted

The ice we walk and sweep on each year just doesn't "happen". There is a lot of work that goes into getting the ice just right. Recently, Donnie and a crew of others met at the Club and painted the rings, lines and rock areas. It starts completely white and then through some hard work and a steady hand, ends up looking as you see it until the ice comes out in April. And so fellow curlers, the ice awaits!
