06 Apr 2011 New curling hall opens at Dumfries Ice Bowl BY Pete Hayman |
A new purpose-built curling hall has been officially unveiled at Dumfries Ice Bowl, which is designed to help establish the town as a "hotbed" for the sport's development in Scotland. The venue has been provided by Dumfries and Galloway Council (DGC) in order to enable curlers to practice and play without having to share facilities with ice hockey and skaters. A DGC spokesperson said: "To maximise potential improvements in participation and performance, the council has been working with the Royal Caledonian Curling Club and the Dumfries Ice Bowl Curling Association."
