If you are looking to socialize while learning a new sport or are a seasoned curler looking for a place to play, check out Curling in Luxembourg. (www.curling.lu)
I joined the club last year after moving from Canada and found the club very friendly and open to new members with or without any prior knowledge of the game. The age range of members is 20 to 65 and don't worry if you only speak English - people are very helpful and there are many members who's native language is English.
The ice is at Patinoire de Kockelscheuer, which is conveniently located at a car pool location so there is excellent bus service from the city center.
The season opens September 15 and runs through until April. You are welcome to come out and give a try, just bring some clean running shoes (all other equipment will be provided). If you like it, you can decide to join the club as a member - or if not, at least say you tried curling in Luxembourg.
And the best part is the tradition of a social drink after the practices on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hello
I was very interested to read your post. I plan to move to Luxembourg at the end of the year or early next year.
I'd love to try Curling and so I was really pleased to see what you've written.
Actually I will visit Luxembourg City with some friend's over the weekend of 28th November and I wondered if it's in any way feasible to 'hire some ice' to try the sport out whilst we're there.
Please let me know if this is a possibility. Obviously we're not members but I wondered if it's feasible to do this?
Any help appreciated,
Ian

Thanks for your reply Ian. On most weekends the curling ice isn't used unless there is a scheduled tournament. Unfortunately, the club isn't really set up for rentals as you requested and there isn't someone available to assist outside of scheduled curling times. Once you settle in Luxembourg, if you are interested, come to the club during one of the practice sessions and you can try it out.
