About Us

The Norfolk Curling Club was established in 1953. Several sets of oddly assorted stones were kindly brought to Norfolk from the Farmington Curling Club.

For our first two years games were played outside on Tamarack and Tobey Ponds.     

During the Autumn of 1956, the original Norfolk curling shed was built. This is the date from which we mark our first official year of curling at the Norfolk Curling Club.

However, it was not a permanent structure, consisting of a wooden building resembling nothing so much as a tobacco barn with apertures for letting in cold air at night to freeze the ice, as there was no ice making equipment. The first curling in the shed took place on New Year’s Day of 1957 with the temperature sitting at 10º below zero.

By the Autumn of 1958, artificial ice-making machinery was installed, making it possible to hold the first Norfolk Men’s Invitational Bonspiel in December of that year. In 1959 the club purchased thirty-two matched Ailsa Craig granite curling stones, leaving behind for good the more colorful relics of a prior age. The old curling shed was later replaced with an insulated metal building along with enlarged locker and equipment rooms. In the summer of 1997 new lighting and a concrete floor with new pipes were installed in the Ice Shed. In the summer of 2000 we installed a fine new roof over the Ice Shed.

On December 18, 2011, the NCC clubhouse was destroyed in an arson fire. After a huge effort by members, the local community and curlers across the country, a new facility was built. On November 23, 2013 the new clubhouse was opened and curling began again!
