STICK CURLING

STICK CURLING CLINIC

The Virden Curling Club will be sponsoring a clinic on the use of a “throwing stick” to propel the rock down the ice. The use of the “stick” has become very popular among seniors as a way to continue to play the game they enjoy.

People who are new to the game or haven’t played in years are now able to take up the game and play with success. “Stick Bonspiels” are being held across Canada with Provincial and Canadian Championships ( Russ Howard represented New Brunswick last year).

Check out the “Stick Curling website at www.stickcurling.ca
( CLICK ON THE STICK CURLING CLINIC TITLE ABOVE TO TAKE YOU TO THIS WEBSITE )
Everyone is welcome to attend this clinic to be held on:

• Thurs. January 29th at 10:00am at the Virden Curling Club
• Throwing sticks will be provided for the clinic
• Bring a clean pair of non-slip shoes (you do not need a slider)

NOTE: If you already use a “throwing stick” come out, hone your skills and learn the rules to “Stick Curling Games and Bonspiels”.

STICK BONSPIEL

The Virden Curling Club will be hosting a “Stick Bonspiel”. Stick Bonspiels involve teams of two players, with no sweeping between the hog lines, and each game lasts for about 1 hour. The game has several new twists to the traditional curling game that will provide challenges and excitement.

Our hope for the future is to involve curlers of all ages in this new and exciting game.
