Welcome to Our Site

"Since we have enjoyed good fellowship on the ice, and are resolved that we will meet and form ourselves in a band of brotherhood and fellowship, and that we will be called Dumbarton Curling Club." - These are the opening words in the minutes of the first meeting held in 1815.

Membership is open to both male and female players of all ages and abilities.

You don't require any expensive equipment, just a pair of training shoes and a jumper, as all other equipment will be provided.

Coaching from our own qualified coach will always be available to our members, particularly for those who are new to curling, and our more experienced players are always willing to provide advice and assistance.

More information pertaining to Dumbarton Curling Club can be found on our About Us page.

  • Club Treasurer  :  David Shanks

Keith then thanked all the members for electing him as Club President.  He went on to say that it was an honour to be appointed as President of the club and looked forward to his 2 years in office.

The AGM was held at the Creative Regeneration Centre (the old Gourock library).  The premises were offered for use to the club by Finlay Campbell, a member on the Board of Trustees for the CRC, and a member of the curling club.

Finlay gave a brief presentation of the CRC and it's aims and objectives within the local community.  

The office bearers and members of the club would like to offer their thanks to Finlay and the CRC for providing us with the use of their premises, and the hospitality affoded to them on the evening.
