Members Update

I can now confirm that due to the lockdown continuing we will not curl again this season. Our Winter League competition was unfinished and is therefore null and void.

More information will follow regarding our club AGM and next season in due course. Meantime enjoy the spring and summer and see you on the ice in September, all being well.

Please try to attend the Curl Aberdeen Zoom AGM on 13 May.
