Welcome to all
MERRY
XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
Another year is near the end. For some it means a break from skating while
for others it means continuing practicing with the National Championships early
January in Nelson. Those Skaters/Officials/Supporters going to Nelson have a
safe trip both ways. We look forward in seeing all of our members back at the
rink for our Public Open Day
PUBLIC OPEN DAY: Saturday 31st
January 2004, 11.00 am – 3.00 pm. The public will be invited to attend during
these hours and have a go at skating for no charge. Demonstrations in
Artistic/Speed/Precision are planned throughout this time. A chance to get new
members, so please support. Afterwards a club get together for a barbeque, etc.
at Maidstone Park or if wet at the rink. Mark this day on your calendar so you
will not forget. All members/supporters welcome to come along
PATCH CLASS: for 2004 will
start on Tuesday 3rd February, 5.30 pm.
RINK
CLOSURE: The rink will be closed for floor
maintenance from 3rd January 2004 till 25th January 2004.
In this time we will be having the floor repainted where necessary so there is
to be NO SKATING during this time period. We will also be
repainting the figure circles off the main rink hopefully soon after Nationals.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.
WORKING BEE(S): This will be on Saturday/Sunday 19/20 January 2004. Will be cleaning, painting the rink wall, etc., to get the building ready for 2004. If you wish to do some painting before this time see Bruce. A key will be available for those members without one so they can have access.
BIRTHDAY CUP: Nominations forms and rules are on the board. They must be returned to Chris P, sealed in an envelope, addressed “Birthday Cup”, by 31st January 2004, 3.00 pm. Presentation of the cup will take place mid-February 2004 in recognition of the formation of the Club in February 1982.
