IMPORTANT CSD SKATERS: Reminder Please fill out one form, which is on the notice board, for each CSD that needs certification and forward to Mrs Pauline Hill, address is on form, along with $5 fee for each certification and a return prepaid envelope so that she can return them. As NZ Post can sometimes lose things it is a good idea to make sure that you have kept a copy of your tape or CD.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS (JULY): Yes, they are not far away. The Club will be having school holiday Roller Disco, Monday – Friday of both weeks, 1:00 – 3:30 pm, plus some bookings from some holiday programmes. A roster is being prepared. If you wish to help on a certain day or can’t assist on any day please see or phone Mary-Anne, 5289127, ASAP.
ROSTERS: Thank you to everyone who has already taken a turn on the public session roster. The roster for Saturday afternoon sessions in May, June and July is on the rink notice board now. If you haven’t already, please check it to find out when you are on. We are endeavouring to have a team of three adults for each session. There will always be at least one experienced person on. You’ll understand it is a logistical nightmare to try and contact everyone before putting names on the roster, so we have taken the liberty of putting members down for a day we hope will suit. If it doesn’t - please can you change with someone else (phone numbers are beside the name). If your name doesn’t appear yet, we will be putting you down for a session later in the year. To assist with all bookings, especially during school hours and Saturday evenings that we get it would be appreciated that you let Mary-Anne, Chris H or Bruce know the times and days you may be able to help.
