Kurling

 Page updated 31-10-2024-RP        Group Risk Assessment - October 2024
​
​Kurling

This is your opportunity to join one of our newest groups, Kurling with a 'K', which has been adapted from the original sport held on ice.
It is played indoors, by individuals or teams, on any large flat smooth surface. The object of the game is to get your 'stone' closest to the 'bull'.  Stones, made from a strong compound, run on steel ball bearings that are positioned underneath. If you have difficulty bending, or need to be seated, then pushers can be used to move the stones.

The game can be played by all ages and abilities, and is already popular with many other u3a groups who report back about the laughs they have together.

From July 2024 we have a group of a dozen members interested and equipment purchased.

If you are simply curious, here is another local u3a that has such a  group:   www.hucknallu3a.org.uk/kurling
It is becoming very popular:  The Ashfield group is over-subscribed:  www.ashfieldu3a.org.uk/kurling.htm
Further afield:  www.u3ahighbridge.org.uk/groupinfo/kurling-group/




If you are interested in joining us then please contact Elaine Maiden at [email protected] or use the Contact Us link.
