Funny where curling pops up....

On a roll tonight and so here is my second blog of the evening.

Those who know me well know that I am a transport planner by profession and in connection with that I have come across a number of interesting websites. One such is the website of a group called SABRE - The Society for All British and Irish Road Enthusiasts - a sort of road-spotting group as opposed to train spotting. While flicking through the forum I came across the following thread and thought you might be interested in it.

I have also sent the reference to Lindsay Scotland at the RCCC who has been putting together a database of historical curling sites in Scotland and he did not have it on his list and so it has now become number 2838 on that database.

He has also started a historical curling site database for England and it can be found here.

If anybody can add any more information to this website he will be very pleased to hear from you.

    1. I think you will find it is there as number 21 on the list - Riverside Ice Rink, Chelmsford.

      As I played there virtually every time curling was on for 6 years I was unlikely to miss that one out when i supplied the data to Lindsay!!

      So I will certainly know you if you tell me your name.
