site01a.jpgFife Curling Trust (FCT) have revealed their plans for a new 4 sheet Curling Rink situated in Duffus Park, Cupar.

Significantly, the FCT have forged a partnership with Cupar Cricket Club (CCC), who will share the facility in the summer months and will use the building for changing, clubhouse & storage facilities. This will give the rink year round activity and revenue. It is felt by both partners that their respective sports will benefit greatly from having such a central new facility in such a fabulous location.

The rink will be directly adjacent to both Elmwood College and Bell Baxter High School, with youth development being a main objective of both the FCT and CCC. Both organisations plan to take coaching into the college and schools to expand participation among the younger age groups.

Timescales have been announced, with a SportScotland application due to be lodged in May09 with a detailed planning application put forward in June09. All going well construction should begin spring 2010 with the opening of the facility in Sept 2010.

site02a.jpgThe FCT have now mailed a prospectus to curlers in Fife and the hard work now has to begin in earnest for the curlers and clubs to raise their allocation of funding - £250,000.

It is now in the hands of the local curlers and community to provide a future in Fife for this great traditional Scottish sport for the next 50 years. They have a once in a lifetime opportunity to provide the generations that follow the same chance to participate in this great game that they have enjoyed throughout the years.
