World Kurling Championships this weekend.
The World Kurling Championships are this weekend, at Windsor Leisure Centre! If you are going and have photos please send them over to info@kurling.com then we can upload them onto our Twitter and facebook sites!
Thames TV are looking for Kurling Teams! Urgent!
Thames TV are lookign or Kurling Teams, to compete in a televised competition! Please read below for all info and contact Bryn for all information!
As I said we are looking to come and see people ideally this week but at the latest next week to meet the team and have a look at the club so time is of the essence.
The dates we will need teams to be available for filming if they are successful in your application are below-
15th May -12th June- We only need you for 3 dates in this period, and we can be reasonable flexible on them but if someone you had in mind is away for a long period within these dates it will probably be safer to rule them out
13th-17th June- It is quite essential that you are free for these dates as this is the week we are recording in the studio, let me know if there is a problem with this
Again, if anyone you approach needs any more information about the show, please don’t hesitate to give them any of my details to get in touch.
For an application form and a flyer for the show, please email info@kurling.com, if someone is interested it would be great you could get that Application form sent over ASAP then we can get the ball moving, I think the best thing to do is either scan in the completed form and then send it over, or photograph it and send it over that way.
What would be great is a small profile about each member that would like to get involved(Name/Age/Skill level) and a photo of the team, I understand that this may be a bit tricky at this short notice but see what you can do!
Look forward to hearing from you soon, if there is anything that you don’t understand just give me a call!

What is New Age Kurling?
New Age Kurling is a form of the original curling game, but adapted so that it can be played indoors on any smooth, flat surface, such as a sports hall, rather than on ice.
New Age Bowls Winners
Last Thursday the final game of the North Tyneside new age bowls league was played at the Help Yourself to Health Day at West Moor Community Centre. The winners, from William Roberts Court from Killingworth, just led the final game against the runners-up from Cheviot View, West Allotment.
32 teams from sheltered housing schemes and community centres have taken part in a league over the summer – all having a go at playing ‘new age bowls’. This is a lighter version of bowls that can be played on any surface without any need for a heavy carpet. The weighted foam bowls are easy to play, both seated and standing, and the target is unrolled and ready to play in a moment.
Both teams reaching the final have enjoyed developing their skills at the new game and are keenly competitive. Jean Carr, Scheme Manager at William Roberts Court, said “When we got the set of bowls everybody wanted to have a go. We’ve been playing every Monday, it keeps us moving and, most importantly, having fun.”
Cllr David Charlton, Chair of the Age Takes Centre Stage Festival Planning Group was invited to present the trophies. “We have wanted to include a Bowls Challenge as part of the Age Takes Centre Stage Festival for many years so I am very pleased to congratulate the winners and all the teams who took part.”
Age UK North Tyneside set up the project with a grant from the Big Lottery Fund to promote physical and creative activities for older people living in sheltered housing. As well as the new age bowls there have been arts activities and healthy eating sessions to encourage people to develop new interests and look after themselves well.
Anyone who would like to try new age bowls for themselves is invited to have a go from 2-4pm at Age UK North Tyneside’s Whitley Bay Centre on Park Road.
