Switzerland has been called a "curling Mecca": while the sport was brought here by the Scots, it has been played in Switzerland since 1880. So this semester, we'd like to give you the opportunity to have a curling taster course!

On the 18th February, we will meet at the bus station Itschnach, Fallacher in Küsnacht at 9:40. We have to be at the hall 10-15 minutes early, but the games will begin at 10:00 (and go until 12:00). From there we'll walk to the sports hall together, where we'll play on two rinks (8 people per rink) for two hours. The rink time will be led by a coach - we do not expect you to know anything about curling beforehand.

Arrival: You can come by bike (the shortest way from Zürich goes over the Forchstrasse via Zumikon) or by using bus lines 912 or 919 (see ZVV).

What you'll need to bring:

- warm clothing (jumper, light gloves, jacket, hat (if you need it) - the hall will be 5 - 6 °C)

- comfortable trousers (e.g. joggings: jeans will restrict movement)

- clean sports hall shoes with a rubber sole

Everything else (shoes, helmets & other equipment) will be provided by the curling club when we get there.

We look forward to seeing you there!
