St. Louis Today write about Club

"Rogers said late last week that she may have found a Metro East rink that's willing to purchase equipment and set up ice for curling matches. Now she's just hoping to find more people who are as committed to curling as she is."

The cost quoted in this article seem a little high compared to "Kansas City Standards". Whatever they end up being, The St. Louis Curling club will need to take into account the cost of the ice rented, insurance, usca due, repayment of the equipment and total number of curlers interested in playing to cover their actual costs.

Rob Skaer said...: Greetings All!
I stopped by U.S. Ice Sports in Fairview heights today and took a few pictures of their curling set up. (Well, okay, the "house" circles in the ice!) They are posted on the Facebook page for St. Louis Curling Club.; 9:10 PM
Anonymous said...: Wishing Great Success with your curling club as we miss Nancy and Roy Rogers. KMCC; 2:21 PM
