Q: When is the curling season at the Norfolk Curling Club?
A: Curling begins in November and ends in early April. New curlers can curl for half a season or the whole season.
Q: Is curling done outdoors the way it began in Scotland?
A: No. Norfolk has an indoor "Ice Shed" with man made ice that is groomed to provide a consistent and superior playing surface. Air temperatures in the ice shed are usually maintained in the 40 degree range. For the comfort of the players and guests, the club offers a large, warm viewing area and a respectable bar and lounge to discuss the finer points of the game.
Q: Can I be on a team if I don’t have a partner?
A: Yes—singles can sign up for any league and they will be placed on a team that needs additional members.
Q: I’m just a beginner—won’t I hold up the game?
A: No way! Curling has all levels of players with a wide range of abilities. Your skip and teammates can offer tips to help you keep the game moving along. The club provides instruction for new curlers as well as curling clinics for new and experienced curlers to learn together. Curling is an easy sport to pick up—beginners, novices and experienced curlers can all thoroughly enjoy a game together. As any curler will tell you, even the most seasoned veteran misses shots.
