Scotland's Ice Rinks Frozen Out

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.

Return to the Ice

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!

Return to Curling Guidelines Remain Unchanged

With restrictions across Scotland now being tightened to mitigate a recent rise in Covid-19 cases, please see the statement below from Scottish Curling’s CEO, Bruce Crawford.

" I’d like to take this opportunity to reassure members, that the First Minister’s latest statement on Covid-19 restrictions makes no changes to our ‘Return to Curling’ guidance.

There is no suggestion that a return to sport has increased the spread of the virus.

Rather, there is huge recognition that playing and enjoying sport has a positive and uplifting effect on our mental health and general wellbeing.

We have been working hard in partnership with officials to make sure every protocol in place at ice rinks will keep participants, staff and volunteers safe.

I visited my local rink yesterday, seeing first-hand the thorough and extensive measures in place, ready for curlers’ return.

Yes, this season will be different; but I urge members to support their local rinks, and the sport we love, and wish all those who choose to curl a safe and enjoyable season. "

Our latest guidance can be found on the Covid-19 section of our website here
