Reasons to take up the sport of curling
Whether you’re a brand new curler, or have years of experience, the Cornwall Curling Club has a spot for you! You don’t have to live in Cornwall to join – we have members from all over Queen’s County.
We offer daytime curling, as well as evening single entry and league curling, starting Oct. 19, along with fun weekend bonspiels and Friday night Drop-In events, in a social atmosphere.
Curling is a sport that anyone, at almost any age, can play, and includes options for those with varying degrees of mobility impairment. It’s not expensive, in comparison with other sports that require much more equipment, officials, and high registration fees. Cornwall has team (any combination of male and/or female curlers) and individual entry (mixed male and female) draws, and daytime 2-person “stick” curling too. The sport is great exercise, increasing flexibility, and providing cardio, with over 2 miles walked in a typical curling game, and lots of sweeping exercise, too!
Joining a curling club is also a great social activity – allowing you to get together regularly with your friends and coworkers, and make new friends and business contacts. After each game, the two teams involved sit down at the table together, and share a drink or two, with the first “sociable” round, by custom, purchased by the winning team. Weekend bonspiels provide a fun atmosphere for the recreational curler, with great music, off-ice activities, and food thrown in, all for a very reasonable cost (check out our website’s Photo section to see pictures from some of our legendary funspiels!). There are also cashspiels and provincial championships for those who want to take their game up a notch (who knows, you could even be in the Olympics some day!)
