GPYC History

Gogar Park Young Curlers was founded in 1979 by Mrs Anne Gumley. Mrs Gumley was dedicated to the improvement of junior members of Gogar Park Curling Club so created GPYC which continues to run on a Sunday morning.

The junior club and coaching was originally run at Gogar Park Curling Club at Gogarburn, near Edinburgh Airport but moved to Curl Edinburgh in season 2005/2006.

Mrs Gumley coached the junior members of club for around 15 years where there was a bit of a lull until Robin Copland and Mike Dick took over in 2000 and continued the work. Other notable coaches that have assisted the junior club are Trevor and Catherine Dodds and former members of GPYC, David Aitken, Andrew Barr and Scott Dakers.

Paul Davis is the current lead coach with a great team of volunteer coaches who give us their Sunday mornings to assist. Many of the coaches are parents of the junior curlers.
