Patrons Scheme – Join Today
Almost all the 20 spaces for the 3 years have gone. We welcome your application and will create a waiting list if we oversubscribe.
There are thirteen 10-year memberships still available. Have you considered how much the ice fees will increase over the next 5 to 10 years? Assuming a 5% increase each year, todays curling fee of £17 will be £27.69 in 10 years. By acting now, you inflation proof your ice fees. £5,000 for 10 years ice what value! You can of course also nominate and transfer your Patron membership.
How Your Club Benefits
As described in last week’s newsletter, a Patron Membership can pay for itself through raffle sales and offering free ice time.
What’s Happening at the Rink
Strictly 2026 applications are open – featuring an ‘All Stars’ cast and Anton Du Beke as celebrity judge.

Volunteering … the next volunteering session is this coming Sunday the 21st of September from 10am to 3pm. The focus for Sunday is to remove unsightly fascia. Those skilled will remove the fascia, and unskilled helpers can clear the debris and sweep up for removal. Please bring your stiff patio brush and a shovel with you.
