The local floor curlers will be winding up another season on May 5 with a potluck dinner at the Endiang Hall. This will complete 32 years of floor curling in Endiang.

The club has hosted many tournaments and Endiang has always been a popular spot with its hospitality and good hardwood floor for curling.
