1924
A meeting was held in the Campbellton Curling rink for the purpose of forming a Ladies Curling Club on Saturday January 19th/1924.

Mrs Shives, acting as chairman, read a letter from Mr Firth, Secretary of the Club, in which the men's club offered the ladies the use of the ice, every morning except Saturday, and two sheets every afternoon but Saturday, on payment of $3.00 from each member, with the provision that the Men's Club could use the ice, at any time they might require it.
