Belfast Curling Club

Belfast Curling Club A 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the sport of curling in Belfast, Maine, and the surrounding community. Cobb and friends from the St.

Belfast Curling Club opened officially in February, 1959 on the site which had previously been flooded for outdoor curling by a group of enthusiasts. Inspired by founder and first president, Dr. Norman E. Stephen, New Brunswick Curling Club, volunteer masons, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and laborers built the club on donated land - even making their own 5,000 cinderblocks! Before this, the

original handful of "roaring game" fans traveled frequently to St. Stephen, and later carted an assortment of stones to a nearby college hockey rink for early morning ice time. In 1962, the two-sheet ice house was razed to make room for the present three-sheet clubhouse which now provides activities for more than 100 members ranging in age from 16 to 75. A banquet and dance hall was added in 1977. Belfast's Ice: Three sheets of some of the finest ice in New England are the result of extensive renovations made in 1991, including insulation and controlled temperature in the ice house. An experienced committee meticulously maintains our ice using a state-of-the-art scraper and pebbler. Our well-lit ice is in use from November until early April.

Dear curling community,

It is with deep regret that I share the news that longtime club member, Owen Nelson, has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. Since joining the club Owen has been one of our most ardent supporters and ambassadors for our club and game, traveling and curling all over the world. As a curler, he was always one to practice and play hard, but also to embrace the fun of the game. His crazy hats, outfits, and most of all, friendship, will certainly be missed.

On behalf of the board, our deepest sympathies go out to Mijin and the rest of his family.

Sincerely,

Sierra Dietz
Club President

For those that wish to make a donation in Owen’s memory: https://square.link/u/1xjIBnlg

The ice is out, and it’s starting to feel like spring around here. It’s time to officially wrap up our curling season with our annual meeting. All Belfast Curling Club members are invited to meet on Sunday, May 3rd at 4pm to conduct the official business of the club, followed by a potluck dinner. During dinner, the Operations Committee will announce the league winners and hand out prizes - you must be present to receive yours!

A meeting agenda will be shared soon. There will be a new slate of directors for the board as well as reports from our various committees and updates on upcoming projects. As a reminder, we need a quorum of 20% of our membership in order to vote so we hope to see many of you there!

See you all soon!

✨ New Blog Alert

I’ve just published a new blog all about curiosity, accessibility, and saying yes to something new—even when you’re not quite sure what you’re getting into. From years of being completely confused by curling to finding myself out on the ice, this one is all about following those quiet little nudges and seeing where they lead.
