Fort Garry Curling Club – Try Curling – Not just for Olympians!

 

1. For anyone

Curling is one of the most inclusive sports out there. You can play in a wheelchair, you can play if you’re visually or hearing impaired, you can play if you’re 90, and you can play if you’re five. There’s such a big age range in curling that little kids can use special lighter rocks until they get big enough to push the granite monsters. You also don’t have to be able to run 10 miles without breaking a sweat in order to play—although being physically fit is definitely a benefit. Both throwing and sweeping can get pretty intense. Curling teams can be all men, all women, or mixed.

2. Curling is inexpensive

No crazy pads, no skates, no helmets—just some basic gear and a membership to a curling league or club, and you’ve got yourself a super-fun sport. Chances are, you can play for a lot less than an annual gym membership. Just be warned: you can blow your budget pretty easily buying rounds for the other team after a match.

3. It’s great for your mind

Curling is all about strategy and precision—in fact, its nickname is “chess on ice.” Although you can learn to play in a couple of hours, curlers spend years learning to read the ice, evaluate the other team’s play, and make decisions accordingly. Plus, you’ll get some good practice in focusing and being mindful. As one curler puts it, “Whether it’s on sweeping, or watching a line, or letting your legs remember what the weight feels like as you slide out—you think about one thing. And for a bit, everything else melts away.”

4. Curling is a ridiculously social sport

Good sportsmanship is key in curling—sweepers are expected to call their own infraction when they burn, or touch, a stone, for example. So while there’s definitely rivalry and competition, it’s also expected that curlers will be friendly and courteous, even if they’re losing badly. Also, getting a beer or coffee with the opposing team after the game is pretty much required, so you’re guaranteed to make friends whether you want to or not.

For Sale – a complete set of 32 used curling rocks

They were used in a small Saskatchewan, Canada village and were purchased by that club in
1958. From what I can see they are the Red/Brown Trefor granite with a couple of them being a
bit of an off colour

From my examination they do not have any inserts. I weighed a number of them with five of the
red rocks “clocking in” at the same 38.8 lbs. Most of the yellows that I weighed were within a
consistent range of 38.2 lbs (X3) and at 39.9 lbs (X2). I took them to the local curling club to test
them out. A provincial level curler and a curling instructor had a chance to throw three yellow
and three red up and down one of their sheets. They indicated that the rocks were lively and
playable.

These rocks are for sale here in Canada (they are currently stored on a farm located near Roblin,
Manitoba) and could be easily shipped to my supplier in the States as well if needed. Shipping
costs would be the responsibility of the purchaser and can easily be arranged through Gardewine
Trucking in Dauphin, Manitoba: https://gardewine.com/about-us/

They also safely fit in the back of a 3/4 ton properly equipped
4 X 4 truck for an “on the farm” pickup if so desired. I have a full set of photos relating to these
rocks for people who may be interested in having a look at them.

I am open to reasonable offers on this complete set of 32 rocks.

Attention all Curlers,

I’m looking for a pair of 1966 Bauer curling shoes, size 9 ½ or 10. I’m sure there are a few still out there, and I would pay dearly for them. I can’t seem to re-create or find the sole material to build a new pair of shoes. This is my dilemma.

I’ve tried to find the hard rubber sole material at several shoemakers, but it doesn’t seem to be available.

If you have a pair for sale, please contact Chris at (905) 751-5872, or Email … [email protected]
