Who are we?
The Committee

The committee of the WCA consists of a President, Treasurer, Development Officer, Secretary, FPOW President and M/F WCF Representatives. The post of President is elected a year in advance, and so there is also a President Elect.


The current president of the WCA is Laura Beever and the WCF Representative is Lisa Peters, who is also a member of World Curling's Governance Commission.


The fact that all members of the Welsh Curling Association committee have been Deeside players, and so part of the First Province of Wales, is purely down to there being no other permanent locations for curling in Wales.  If curling is established at a second rink in Wales, the WCA will be the governing body, and also oversee curling there.
