DFW Curling Club is MOVING !

WE ARE MOVING !!!

The D/FW Curling Club will hold it's 2009-2010 season at the FARMERS BRANCH Dr Pepper StarCenter.

This decision was made because of the pending demise of the Duncanville Dr Pepper StarCenter.

We have been offered a Sunday evening, 7pm-9pm slot in Farmers Branch. Click HERE for directions. Your board of directors has voted unanimously, albeit some a bit reluctantly, to approve this. The alternative was to risk the potential of no curling for the coming season.

Everyone understands that this move will create a hardship to some members and we are saddened that we may even lose some great friends and curlers who cannot adapt to this new location or time.

Curling at a new facility will be a challenge. However, we are convinced that this will be positive to the Club. This venue offers more exposure for curling and a more central location. Your board will be working hard to take advantage of the this new potential.

Our hoped for start date is October 4th. It could be put off one week as the StarCenter attempts to fit us into their schedule. Please check back here often for updates on our Times and Dates. Applications will be online soon. We WILL be offering PayPal payments this season.

Curling, a game that has been described as “chess on ice,” involves two four-person teams who alternate sliding rocks down 146 feet, sheet of ice. The team that places the most rocks nearest the center of a circular target at the end of 8 ends (similar to innings) wins. The game is an ancient Scottish sport (over 500 years old) and was wildly popular during both the Salt Lake City and Torino Italy Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. Many US Curling Clubs were swamped with curious folks wanting to learn and try this unique sport as the Olympics ended.

Beat the rush. Come out and get involved BEFORE the Olympics in Vancouver. Save Your Spot NOW!

The Curling Club is asking for donations of $5-10 to help pay some of the expense. All persons must sign a waiver as required by the Dr. Pepper/Star Center. The D/FW Curling Club is a 501 (c)(3) public charity. The public is cordially invited.
