The Directors of the Potomac Curling Club are responsible for the financial, legal and operational management of the club at its facility at the National Capital Curling Center in Laurel, MD. There are 11 members of the Board serving three-year, staggered terms.
Each year, the members of the Potomac Curling Club are called upon to elect or re-elect three or four members of the Board (possibly more if there has been a resignationduring the year).
Between April 20 and May 3, 2013, the membership will elect four Directors. Three directors will be elected for three year terms, and a fourth director for a one year term.
The Nominating Committee is now soliciting club members to run for the Board of Directors. If you are interested in being a leader of the Club please consider running for these important positions. The Board meets at least once a month throughout the year to ensure that the club is operating effectively. Get your nomination in no later than March 22nd!
Each year the Annual Meeting provides the Potomac Curling Club an opportunity to acknowledge individual members for their contributions to the club and its members. [Read more...]

Do you want to try curling with just your friends or office mates? The Potomac Curling Club rents its facilities at the National Capital Curling Center for group outings. The center is located next to The Gardens Ice House at 13810 Old Gunpowder Rd., Laurel, MD 20707. Click here for a detailed map courtesy of Google Maps.
We supply all necessary equipment and basic instruction.
A “typical” rental begins with 45 to 60 minutes of instruction covering safety, sweeping, stone delivery, scoring, a bit about curling courtesy and how to play the game. Your group then returns to the warm room to warm up, form teams, and then goes back out on the ice to actually play an abbreviated (four ends) game. Some groups bring beverages and a snack for broomstacking back in the warm room. Wear warm, loose fitting clothes and clean flat soled shoes. Sneakers are OK. A release will be needed.
Available rental dates and prices to be announced.
