Finally booked it. Leaving King's X at 19:00 Friday night, returning Sunday 18:30.

Adam has no idea what's going on. It's mistakes like that which cost them games.

Good to hear folk booking up.
Registration will open next week.
Trying to keep it cheap as possible for y'all.
More news to come soon. For now, here is a sneeky peek at the venue:

Get your studded tyres on...

Ice is melted, barrriers marking out two courts.

Sweet! Curling club! Does that mean there's a bar on site?

Murrayfield?

Yeah, club pub will be open. Can have kitchen open too, we will see about that.
Aye man, it's Murrayfield, melted every year. The manager is keen to see it used and help the sport.

venue looks awesome, how big will the 2 courts be?

Onsite bar? amazing

Is there going to be any free accommodation in this one? If not, what area should we be looking for accommodation? I know Edinburgh is pretty small, but if the club is out in the suburbs it might not be necessary to get an expensive town centre place.

Hi Dan,

We won't be able to provide accomodation, certainly not for everyone. We're looking into getting a city-centre hostel for a good price for the weekend but we're still in negotiations so will get you some info soon.

Cool, thanks!

One of our guys is mates with a guy who owns a sweet hostel, right in the centre of town. It is next to the meadows and minutes from the centre of town.

Furthermore, there is garage space for storing bikes. 3 bed rooms cost £27 if you book direct from them, not through an agency site, so saving you some monies:
