There are now signs that the discussions regarding the construction of a new curling rink are bearing fruit. An active survey of the financial situation is being carried on and it is expected that within a few days a definite decision will be arrived at. The plans now being formed call for a larger rink, both for curling purposes, and for club room uses. Perhaps, in a town the size of Huntingdon, the latter is of more importance than the former. At the present time we have no public place where the local citizens both young and old can gather in a social way and be on an equal footing.
An athletic club lends itself admirably for such a purpose, and if large comfortable club rooms are provided it will be possible to have a place in which all can take pride and where many will gladly go during the winter months. Subscriptions for the curling rink should not be confined to those who play the Scotch game, but should be made by all who are desirous of having a good club room where they can go at any time and feel that they are entitled to be there because they have contributed towards its construction.
