The Creemore Curling Club is starting a new season.

Doug Quanbury was new to curling when he joined the club in 1998.

With two artificial knees, he wasn’t sure if he could curl but he able to use a stick to push the rocks so he doesn’t haven’t to crouch.

“I wouldn’t enjoy my winter without my curling,” said Quanbury. “It’s a good way to meet new people, there’s a social aspect to it, and it’s good exercise.”

The club offers evening and daytime curling. Sessions are for men and women and some are mixed gender.

“We have beginner classes, we are really encouraging new people to come out,” said Quanbury. “Don’t be afraid if you’ve never curled before, it’s a fun sport, it’s quite easy to learn.”

He said club members are really good at mentoring new curlers.

The club is also planning to offer a junior program and is planning a provincial competition for curlers 70 and older in December.

A registration session takes place at the curling club on Friday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.
