Frequently Asked Questions

 

How much does it cost?

 

To curl with GUCC you must pay your GUSA membership which is generally around £50-60, this is paid by everyone who partakes in club sport or uses the gym. On top of this we charge a club membership fee of £15-20 for the year. This covers all of your training sessions.

Yes, this is required for insurance purposes and if you don't have GUSA membership paid, we cannot allow you to train or compete with us, and that would kind of suck.
