Wish List
The Charlotte Curling Association is constantly seeking ways to make our wonderful curling rink better – more hospitable, more safe, more everything. As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day, though, and there’s so much more we can do to improve it. Here are a few things that we need that would help. If you have one you don’t want, then please consider donating it to Charlotte Curling so we can put it to good use.

A kegerator! We are quite limited in the beer we can serve at the bar, because we only have four taps, and because there is not enough refrigerated space under the bar. A kegerator would solve that, permitting us to serve more brands. The bar manager does take requests… |

Lockers, just like in high school. We have hundreds of members and nowhere near enough lockers to accommodate the gear each one would wish to store at the rink. If you are tired of hauling your curling shoes and your toque back and forth, help us solve that problem. |

Light fixtures. Ever think to yourself that the warm room feels a tad institutional? Thank the overhead fluorescent lighting for that. We would like to make it a little warmer, homey, and more bar-like in its atmosphere. Better light fixtures over the broom-stacking tables, the snooker table, and the crokinole tables to the rescue! |

Bound carpet for the side walkways. So you have noticed that the carpet on the side walkway of the ice area only extends a little bit of the way into the rink, and always wondered why? Simple – we didn’t have any to use. Carpet traps dirt and keeps your slider more pristine than the concrete floor we currently step on. |

Chain link fencing, complete with posts. We’d like to enclose the parking area, for greater security. |
