Curling Club

Due to the closure of Ayr Ice Rink, sadly at 50 years at Limekiln Rd, Ayr, members of the St Leonard's Curling Club are required to relocate to the Galleon Centre in Kilmarnock. We continue to be a mixed club and travel up together from Ayr. New members are always welcome and contact the club secretary Jennifer Mutter via the church office.

 

History and events

 To celebrate the Club's 30th Anniversary in November 2019, a luncheon was held and members and partners, and several past members who had "hung up the brush", enjoyed a day of chat and catching up. The Season itself was a busy one with many games, several success stories and ,of course, the not so successful  ones, but at the end of the day it is the fun and fellowship which matters.


The Club's outing to Stranraer was cancelled due to the current virus situation leaving us with a surplus of prize Easter Eggs which were donated to the food bank. 
The Season itself was a busy one with many games, several success stories and ,of course, the not so successful  ones, but at the end of the day it is the fun and fellowship which matters. Hoping in 2021 to meet and have our AGM and get going again sometime soon after August.

 A Bridge  'n  Lunch party was held in St. Leonard's Church Hall on Sat 23 March 2019 to raise funds for WHITELEYS  RETREAT. This new facility offers therapeutic short term breaks for children and their families with cancer and other life threatening illnesses. 

Thanks to all who supported by serving food on the day and the donation of many raffle prizes.

The sum of £2,050.00 was raised.
