With Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire now in Level 3 Curl Aberdeen is now closed until our Council areas are moved back into Level 2.
It is highly likely changes will have to be made to our fixture list in due course.
I'll keep you advised as developments occur.
Meantime stay safe.
While, currently, we are very fortunate and still able to curl the situation elsewhere in Scotland is very different.
Scottish Curling are working in partnership with the Scottish Ice Rink Association, to highlight the devastating impact and continued uncertainty around Protection Levels is having on the sport; with revenues expected to be down by 50% for this season alone.

It was good to be back at the rink on Wednesday and to see so many familiar faces - once the masks came off! The changes are going to take some getting used to but although there’s some frustration, such as playing the perfect weight (despite what Bob says) only to see it fall short because you’ve not got two sweepers, everyone managed admirably.
I’d like to say that I led from the front, and in a way I did, with the clubs first fall of the season when I attempted to sweep my first stone of the night. With all the focus on the risks of Covid it seems I needed to be reminded that ice is slippery...
Good curling, stay safe and see you soon!
