We are introducing an indoor New Age Kurling group for over 65's which is played indoors. Why not come along and have a go?   Anyone can play regardless of physical ability.  Refreshments available. New Age Kurling is a form of the original curling game, but adapted so that it can be played indoors on any smooth, flat surface, such as a sports hall, rather than on ice.
