There is very little equipment you need to buy to start curling.
Beginners only need to bring themselves and a pair of shoes to wear on the ice.
These shoes should have a sole that is flat and will not slip in the ice.
Other equipment:
Stones are on the ice ready for you.
Brushes are available in each corner of the rink.
Slippy soles will be provided by the coaches.
Your own equipment:
You may in time want to purchase your own shoes, brush and even a stopwatch.
These are all available in good sports shops.
In Kelso you will find a good selection in "Swans Shoes" in Bridge Street.
