Arborfield Curling Club reaches fundraising goal, upgrades expected to be completed ahead of winter season

The Arborfield Curling Club is working to complete much-needed repairs to its facility before the winter season.

Several components of the building reached the end of their service life this past season, prompting a fundraising campaign over the past few months to help ensure another year of curling.

“Our fundraising has gone very well; the outpouring of support from the community and donors has been amazing,” said club treasurer Wendy Ralph. “We hosted a few events ourselves, including suppers, a car show and a cornhole tournament, and we reached our goal of $25,000.”

The club took an estimate of the expenses of new parts, which have included compressors, fans, and a pump, along with touch-up items to make the 45-year-old club look new again.
