Find a Club: West Linton Curling Club
| About the Club | West Linton Curling Club is a fun and social club, playing at Curl Edinburgh. While many players come from the West Linton area, we also have members who live in other areas of eastern Scotland who are able to travel to Murrayfield where we play the majority of our matches.
We have a membership of around 35-40 people, with a mix of men and women, aged in their 20s-80s. We play a club league programme with players drawn into teams who they play with throughout the season. In addition to this, we also play matches with other clubs and have additional events like the Points and Pairs competitions. |
| Membership | Each year we try to hold a coaching session for new players to welcome them to the sport and to the club. This session gives potential new members the opportunity to meet current members and to gain experience on the ice in a fun and welcoming environment. The club and its members are very welcoming and are always keen and happy to support and guide players who are new to the game.
We have a variety of membership options:
As noted above, we also hold a pairs and points competition every year and all members are given the opportunity to sign up to these events. In addition, further games may be possible through matches with other clubs. We support those with physical disabilities to play, including those in mobility scooters. |
| Social Events | The social side of curling is very important to us as a club and we try to organise our matches at times to maximise opportunity to meet before and after a match for a drink, meal and catch up. The catering at Curl Edinburgh is very good so we support this.
Additional social events are held throughout the year including a Christmas Bonspiel followed by a meal at the rink, a golf competition in August, and an end of season dinner and prizegiving to celebrate our curling season. |
| Times of Play | We play a variety of weekday evenings and weekends. This enables those who work during the day to join us. |
