The Border Ice Rink opened its doors to ice sports on the 1st October 1964 with a "Curling Bonspiel”, followed by a dinner in Ednam House, then a wekend of skating.

​

Here we are in 2024, some 60 years later and still going strong.   To mark this milestone we have organised a Curling Bonspiel, a Jubilee Dinner and a 60s Theme Skating Weekend for you all to enjoy similar to what happened in '64.

​

For the curlers we are hosting a bonspiel for 128 players on Saturday 19th October when the north of our catchment area will play the south in their clubs.  Invited players from further afield will also being involved.   

 

The Diamond Jubilee Dinner with music, toasts and an after dinner speaker will take place in the Cross Keys Hotel, Kelso, after the curling and prior to the skating on Sunday 20th.

​

(The details of the skating event will be on the skating page.)
