Sooner Curling Club to begin semesterly recruiting this month

The Sooner Curling Club is looking to recruit new members for spring semester and is holding an informational meeting Feb. 16 along with a “Learn to Curl” session Feb. 19.
OU students interested in joining should attend the informational meeting Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m. in the Sooner Room located in the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

The “Learn to Curl” session taking place Sunday, Feb. 19, will be at the Arctic Edge Ice Arena in Oklahoma City with current members providing transportation for anyone who needs it.

Sooner Curling Club President, Dylan Smith, said the club had about 50 members last semester and is looking to increase those numbers this semester

“Right now we’re making a big push to try and get new members, so the next couple weeks we’re going to be out in the South Oval just trying to get the word out there about the club so they can come to the ‘Learn to Curl’ session,” Smith said.

Jillian Lundie who has been a member of the Sooner Curling Club since its formation in the fall semester of 2010 suggests everyone should come out and try it.

“It kind of sounds stupid, you’re throwing rocks down a sheet of ice? But it’s actually a lot of fun. It’s not something you do every day so it’s a great way to try something new,” Lundie said.

The Sooner Curling Club will have a table set up in the South Oval, Wednesday, Feb. 8 and Wednesday, Feb. 15, to give students more information on the important dates approaching. 

However, Smith says the easiest way for students to get involved and stay up to date with everything going on with the Sooner Curling Club is to “Like” the Facebook page and “Follow” it on Twitter.

Students can also find information about the club and contact information on the OU Student Life website.
