Dumbarton Curling Club is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Gold Level Accreditation by Scottish Curling. We are honoured to be the first club in Scotland to achieve this distinction.
Scottish Curling’s accreditation framework comprises five levels:
- Foundation
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
The new accreditation scheme is structured around a series of modules, each of which focuses on a specific area of club development, governance, and long‑term growth. Clubs may select the modules most relevant to their needs, and the total number completed determines the level of accreditation awarded.
Dumbarton Curling Club has successfully completed seven of the eight modules required for Platinum Accreditation. The remaining module focuses on Junior Engagement. As the club currently comprises adult members only, the committee is actively exploring initiatives that will enable us to welcome junior curlers in the coming season.
The club extends its sincere thanks to the staff at Scottish Curling for their guidance, support, and expertise throughout the accreditation process, all of which contributed significantly to this achievement.
