The board of directors of the Tartan and Caledonian curling clubs signed an agreement Wednesday proposing amalgamation of the two clubs to come together under one roof at the Callie site for the 2018-19 season.

An informal offer to purchase the Tartan on Broadway Avenue was one of the catalysts behind the big changes. That offer has now been formalized and the building is set to be sold, said Michael Lavis, a board member of the Tartan Curling Club.

But, he added, “All of this is subject to the approval of our membership. A membership meeting will be held in mid-August.”
