Glasgow Gateway Curling Club
Glasgow Gateway Curling Club is a friendly, social club for newcomers to the sport. Playing alongside new curlers with only a couple of years experience can be a great way to learn the sport, meet new people and have fun!
We play curling sessions most Saturdays during the curling season from September to March. We also offer specialised coaching sessions to help you develop your skills beyond the basics, enabling you to gain confidence in the sport.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my three years at the club. It took the stress out of learning to curl with a friendly playing atmosphere and good coaching sessions."
