We were there when the "Retirees Curling Club" were playing. This was the first time I was in a curling rink, though K is a huge fan of curling. Dave, one of the Retirees, was very nice and answered some of my questions, though he did not want his picture taken.
Dave is a curler since high school, guessing about 50 years. Nice group of guys and it gives them the opportunity to play and socialize.
At one of the tables was a large group of men, that had an opinion on just about everything, from recycling, electronics, to airplane vapors.
The club offers a bar and food options.
A little history about the curing rink:
The Trail Curling Club was established in 1950.
"In Trail, the top tier multi sport complex that is the Trail Memorial Centre contains the largest curling club in the region with an 8 sheet curling complex. Ideally set up for hosting large events with temporary seating for up to 600 available within the curling club for a 4 sheet competition setup, the Cominco Arena under the same roof can also be set up for 4 curling sheets with 2,108 seats for larger events. Home to the 2007 Scotties BC Women's curling championships Trail has hosted numerous local, regional and provincial tournaments and bonspiels successfully and enjoys a reputation as an excellent curling location and event host."
