General information

The curling season in Moray is up and running with club and competitions underway for the 2017 / 2018 season at the Moray Leisure Centre Elgin.
The curling season is from the 1st September through to a date in March with the occasional break for Christmas holidays etc.

Moray has 15 curling clubs that use the Moray Leisure Centre as their home rink on a Monday / Tuesday and Wednesday while the other days the rink is turned over to skating clubs and recreational skaters.

The 15 clubs in the “Moray Province” extend from Buckie in the East – Ballindalloch in the south and Darnaway to the West and can be found on The Moray Province Web site.

Each club would make you very welcome and there is a choice of clubs, Mixed, Ladies only, Junior Club and a Wheel Chair curling club. All of these clubs are looking for new members from the ages of 8 to 88. Full details are on this website.

You can give curling a try

Moray Province formed a subcommittee “M.P Curling Development Group”  in 2007  to host try curling followed by coaching to introduce the community male or female into this wonderful sport,  encourage them to take up curling, join a local club and then progress to a level that suits each individual i.e. as a club curler who is happy to have a competitive social game, or to the other extreme go for gold at Olympic standard.
