Borestone and Stirling Curling Club is a "mixed up club", in terms of age and ability, run by the members to enable them to enjoy the sport of curling. The club is open to all and carries out most of its activity in the evenings at The Peak, Stirling Home - Active Stirling. The club is actively looking for new members to join including those curlers who are members of the Gateway Club (previously known as the Virtual Club) and are looking for a local club to join.
We run a full programme of club and interclub matches as well as taking part in the three Stirlingshire Province Bonspiels and the Knock Out competition, as well as the Forth Valley Bonspiel and Knock Out competition. We enjoy social events such as post interclub match meals and occasional post intra club match meals/events. A lot!!
Club subscriptions remain at £50 for playing and pool members whose mother club is Borestone and Stirling, £20 for playing and pool members whose mother club is not Borestone and Stirling and club subs of £7.50 for non-playing and junior members.

In the Stirlingshire Province competitions our best performance was in the Aitken when we came in 4th. We did win our game in the FV Area bonspiel against Keir – B&S 9; Keir 6. Well done Alan, Laura, John and Jackie. We were victorious in prestigious the Alex Reid Trophy. Fraser, Alan, Jamie & Andy beat Bonnybridge 12:6 and Derek, Stewart, Laura and Janice beat Laurieston and Zetland 8:4.
We entered a team into the Stirling Curling Group (SCG)’s Interclub league which gave us the opportunity to play teams from clubs that we wouldn’t normally play; and we won 6 out of the 7 games that we played to win the competition. Well done to the pool of players for their contributions- Derek, Janice, Jamie, Gordon, John, Laura, Alan, Mark and Gillian. B&S were overall winners for this SCG Interclub League which is a great achievement.
We had more successes in the four Interclub games by winning three out of our four matches. We won against Airthrey Castle for the Morton trophy (skipped by Mark Duguid and Alan Lee) and won against Bonnybridge (skipped by Alan Lee) and against Torbrex for the Torbex Broom (skipped by Don MacLeod). We lost to Sauchie and Bannockburn for the lovely Polmaise Trophy. Hopefully we can win all 4 matches next season.
In early December, four teams took to the ice in a battle to win the Alex McFeat trophy. The trophy was won by John Mott, Jamie Roy, Jennifer Durrant and Anne Ferguson. It was a closely fought competition and went down to a measure on the final end. A group of nineteen members and partners then went on to the Allan Park Hotel in Stirling for a lovely meal; and many subsequently adjourned to the bar thereafter.
We also won the Graeme Giles Trophy in February.
B&S, as a previous Stirlingshire Province winner, took part in the national province championship. The team ( of Mark, Alan, Laura and Erin) enjoyed the experience but was outclassed on this occasion.
