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.

presidents shield 2025At the club's AGM for the season 2024/25, Jonny Flowers was awarded the President's Shield, which was presented by Club President David Armstrong.

This year, Jonny received the Shield for assisting David after his accident at the end of the Lennox Cup match against Helensburgh at Greenacres.  Jonny not only remained with David while he was receiving treatment at the rink, but also took him to A&E and stayed until he was released from hospital and took home.

Johnny Flowers and Alex Brown featured in previous rounds of the competition, and the ultimate success in the competition would not have been possible without their contribution.

The tour is scheduled to last just over weeks, arrivining in Minneapolis on 15 January 2027 and leaving from Boston on 8 February 2027, visiting numberous rinks, cities, and states in between.
