Free public learn-to-curl clinic

Residents of central New Hampshire are invited to a free learn-to-curl clinic on Wednesday, Feb. 28, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Pop Whalen Ice & Arts Center.

The event, sponsored by the Wolfeboro Department of Parks and Recreation and hosted by Lakes Region Curling Association, is part of the Winter Carnival celebration that takes place annually during February school vacation.

The clinic is open to those 18 years or age or older, and pre-registration is required.

In a two-hour session, experienced LRCA curlers will introduce participants to the basic rules and game play of the increasingly popular Olympic sport. All needed equipment will be provided.

For both men and women of all ages and athletic abilities, curling is a sport that combines skill, teamwork, and strategy, and LRCA matches put a premium on friendly competition, sportsmanship, and fun.

Registration is available from Events page of the Lakes Region Curling Association web site (lakescurlingnh.org). Visitors to the site can view informative videos, access information about curling rules and game play, and find the latest information about LRCA events and activities.
