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.

 

PRIVATE BOOKINGS: Maidstone Intermediate during the 2nd and 3rd terms have booked most Wednesdays from 1.30 – 2.30 pm. Home School have booked every 3rd Thursday during the 2nd term 1.30 – 3.30 pm. See notice board for actual dates/times and other bookings. Any assistance appreciated.
