About[]
Penicuik Curling Club, like most curling clubs, organises its own programme. The club has many leagues and competitions annually. The annual calendar includes matches against other curling clubs in the region, such as West Linton CC and Merchiston CC. The club participates in inter-club competitions, such as the Linlithgow Trophy and the Swan Trophy, at Edinburgh Curling Club (Murrayfield), and also participates in the R.C.C.C. Province League, Province Bonspiel, and King George Cup.
Individual members are active in a range of other competitions such as the Cousin Trophy and the Half Century League organised by Edinburgh Curling Club. Regular social events are also held.
The Club has a mix of male and female members, and accepts junior members (age 14 and upwards). Individuals are eligible either if they reside (or have resided at some time) in the wider Penicuik area, or if they have a connection, past or present, to the town.
