First, 'Drop OFF' any refundable items (at back door, Victoria St) that may be cluttering up your basement, then 'Drop IN' to see some FANTASTIC Junior Curling, in this years' Provincial Playdowns. A total of 27 teams will be here at the Truro Curling Club vying for Gold in each of the male & female divisions. These curlers could be our future Olypians. Come see for yourself--they ROCK!

Truro Curling Club News: House to House –February 2019
End 1 – The Broom Closet would like to thank everyone who has supported them by purchasing product this year. It is a great time with the winter session starting to replace those worn out grippers and broom heads. Clean grippers and broom heads go a long way in helping to keep the ice surface free from debris. Thank you to Joan and Pat for all the hard work they have put into the Broom Closet and its success.
End 2 -The winter is always a great time to clean out your closets and basement. Be sure to start a box, or boxes, of items to donate to our yard sale to be held in May. This is an important fundraiser for the club and allows your items to find a good home.
End 3 – Come out and volunteer at the Under 18 Provincials from March 8th to the 11th.
