The SCIG was established by a core group of Scottish curling-ice technicians at Forest Hills Curling Rink on 26 April 2002, who were keen to work together on the development of excellent curling ice.
The SCIG seeks to promote excellent curling ice for the benefit of all. It is recognised that good ice gives good curling and from this every aspect of curling benefits. For curling to advance in the modern era, excellence is essential, and to achieve excellence co-operation is the key.
The principal aim of the SCIG will be the development of excellent curling ice through research, experimentation and communication. The results of its work will be published for the benefit of all ice technicians.
When requested, the SCIG will strive to provide quality curling ice at any venue.
Membership of the group is free and is open to anyone interested in the excellence of curling ice.
Only members of the SCIG will be eligible for selection of a team to provide assistance at competitions.
Only members who can demonstrate a clear commitment and ability to provide excellent curling ice at their home rinks for all games can serve on the committee.
