Curling Camp for Governor Morehead School for the Blind

Sunday, 2008 June 15 - 1:40 pm

As we did last year we are once again joining forces with the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh to offer a summer curling camp for the kids at GMS. The camp session will be from 1-3 PM on Tuesday June 24th at the Factory Ice House. If you are interested in volunteering to help with this event please contact Sue Mitchell at mnmiga@yahoo.com. This is a great opportunity to help the kids from GMS and I know from personal experience last year that this was a great event. Even if you are not a very experienced curler you can help out with this event, so please contact Sue for more information.

Pick-up Curling

Sunday, 2008 June 15 - 1:39 pm

This year the Triangle Curling Club will be holding 2 pick-up curling sessions over the summer which are great opportunities for new and experienced curlers to maintain or improve their skills in advance of the fall season starting. This summer we will be offering 2 pick-up sessions, one on Friday June 20th from 8-10 PM, and the other on Friday July 18th from 8-10 PM. Both these sessions will be $20/person for existing members and $15 for first time curlers, payable at the session. Anyone is welcome to attend whether you are a TCC member or not. If you are new or have friends who would like to come out and try curling let us know so we will be able to arrange for instructors to be available to teach during the sessions.

Please contact the club to sign-up for the sessions in advance through the pick-up curling email address at pickupcurling@trianglecurling.com.

2008 Winter League Started

Thursday, 2008 February 28 - 10:04 am

The Triangle Curling Club's 2008 Winter League Season has started. League play results are available here, or from the link on the left.

If you are not playing in the league (but have still signed up for club membership), you can sign up to play as a spare for league members who are absent. If you're on the spares list, you should get an email when a spare is needed; simply reply to the league member who made the request, or to the team skip, to claim the spot. You will need to pay $25 for the curling session. (If you are already a league member and are playing as a spare, you only need to pay $5 to play as a spare.)

If you have not signed up as a league member, you can still sign up to play as a spare. Visit the membership page for more information.

NBC to Air Curling Reality Show

Tuesday, 2008 February 12 - 8:53 am

NBC has plans to air a reality show based on curling, possibly picking up Bruce Springsteen or Jon Bon Jovi as a host. Contestants would compete to become members of one of two teams (five men and five women) that will train for six months before competing in the U.S. regional playdowns in 2009. If the teams win the playdowns, they will go on to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
