Scottish Curling announce a four-week block of Try Curling Sessions

With the Special Olympics World Winter Games 2029 soon approaching in Switzerland, Curling (on ice) will be heavily featured throughout the games. Therefore Scottish Curling are aiming to have a Scottish / British team involved at the games.

To raise awareness of the sport and to provide participation opportunities, Scottish Curling are hosting a 4-week block of floor curling (non-ice based curling) sessions. Which are being held at Curl Aberdeen on upcoming Friday evenings, with an option for this becoming weekly, with a further possibility of adding in sessions on the ice throughout the season.

The initial 4-week taster block of sessions will run as follows, if you are interested, it would be preferable if you would be able to attend all 4 weeks (if possible).

 

  • Friday 16th January.
  • Friday 23rd
  • Friday 23rd
  • Friday 6th February.

With all sessions running from 17:00 – 18:00.
