History of The Liverpool Curling Cub

The Liverpool Curling Club was founded and built in 1935 at a cost of $7280. The original floor was rather unique, consisting of a double layer of groove and tongue flooring supported at a height ranging from two feet to as many as nine feet above ground level. During the years 1943 - 1946 the facility was leased to the Canadian Army Reserve. On V-J night 1946, a fire broke out and considerable damage was done to the roof over the ice shed. In late 1947 and early 1948 a refridgeration plant was installed and on January 26, 1948 the first stone was delivered on the new ice surface. The origional compressor lasted until April 2003 at which time it was replaced. In 1950 the club facilites were improved with the addition of a new dining room and by the installation of a furnace. At the end of the curling season the ice was used for public skating from 1951 until 1956. In 1951 the ladies formed a seperate club and Marj. Harris was their first President.

 On March 9th,1965 the club was dealt a severe blow when fire destroyed the club room and a large portion of the ice shed. The stones were also destroyed, actually cracking from the heat of the fire. The club was rebuilt and the new curling rink was officially opened on December 9th, 1965. 

 In the summer of 1976 a committee was formed to remove the brine pipes and insulate the floor and re-install the old pipes at the same time the walkway, around the surface, was lowered and replaced. This entire job was done by volunteer club members for approximately $9000.00.  

 In 1981 a dehumidifer was purchased and installed at a cost of $10,000.00. The dehumidifer did not cure the problem so in 1984 a duct system was designed and installed to evenly distribute the air flow. This system worked well and is still in operation today. Also during the fall of 1984, the subject of most concern to the club was associated with the shortage of water.
