Ice Rink Information
The ice rink was opened in 1964 for the provision of ice sports in the Borders area.
From October to March curling, public skating and skating club is now only on a Sunday
with "Ice Hockey" some "Disco Skating" on Saturdays after the Curling coaching.
Curling takes up the rest of the week.
During the summer months (June - August) roller skating and pickleball sessions are available.
Check out their pages and social media for current session times.
The Club Lounge
We have a beautiful, large viewing gallery that allows our members and guests to sit back and relax with an ice cold beverage, some good company and some local curling. The lounge has just under 100 chairs and 8 tables with an additional 6 folding tables. This is a members bar that can be used for curling functions alongside a curling event or even just for a club event. Although we have our café downstairs, we can by arrangement serve your food to you in the comfort of the lounge whether it be for a function or for a quick snack between games.
The lounge can also be used for non-club functions.
The café is entering into a new phase by opening to the general public 12 months of the year.
The new opperators are Justin and Mercyline, who return to Kelso with their two daughters after eight year in Shetland where Justin worked as a chef. The cafe has been renamed to the "Rink BISTRO" and will be open from 11.00am to 8.30pm daily, serving coffees, snacks, lunches and dinners within the Bistro and the new oudoor seating area, but if you want a "take away" this is also available. Please note that due to Sundy lunch popularity you are advised to book in advance
The Bistro will soon be upgraded to have it's own direct access from the front of the building (When we get the builders here) making access direct and easy for all. We hope you will bear with us while this upgrade is completed, but rest assured Justin and Mercyline will be serving you through it all.
The Bistro will have a light, fresh feel to it, where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee, snack, lunch or your evening dinner.
We can currently seat 36 at the tables with an additional 6 stools for sitting along the window where you can watch the activities in the main hall, such as, skating, pickleball or whatever could be on at the time.
Justin & Mercyline Kitamyi
