The Liverpool Curling club is hoping almost $500,000 in upgrades over the past season will translate to new members.<\/p>\n

President Gordon Sampson says the club is focused on two objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything we do tries to fit in two boxes. One of them is accessibility and inclusion, and the other one is efficiency. Because without getting our operating costs down, no matter what we do, we won\u2019t be able to stay open,\u201d said Sampson.<\/p>\n

Sampson says the club enjoyed a buzz after some of the upgrades were completed last year and was looking forward to adding perhaps another 40 people to the existing membership of 75 until COVID restrictions shut them down.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s optimistic when they install the ice again in late October people will be just as curious to see the upgrades and give the club a try.<\/p>\n
