North Lanarkshire Figure Skating Club

RINK UPDATE
We finally have an official update on completion of the Time Capsule ice rink. The work has been agreed and the funding is now in place with a start date of the end of January 2012. It is expected to take 20 weeks and the anticipated opening of the rink is the beginning of August,2012. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

FUND RAISING
We had a fund raising disco/party on the 25th November, 2011 to raise funds for the club we raised £528.00 so a big thank you to all those who participated.

We are also speaking with various organisations to try to raise funds through grants and will keep you posted on any updates.

The cost of Hamilton and Stirling is not being fully met by our members attending and supporting the club, therefore we have been subsidising ice from Club funds. So fundraising is at the forefront of our minds just now.

EXTRA SKATING SESSIONS
Skating sessions have been organised at Hamilton ice rink on Sunday 25th March, 2012 and 19th February, 2012. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN NEGOTIATION FOR ICE TIME ON FRIDAY EVENINGS FROM APRIL THROUGH AUGUST AT STIRLING. THEREFORE PLEASE SUPPORT THE CLUB BY ATTENDING WHEN YOU CAN AND ALL UPDATES OF SESSIONS WILL BE MADE AVAILIABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE.

TEST DATE CHANGE
The test dates have been changed from 19th February to 4th March, 2012, any queries please speak to your coach.

TEST DATE ORGANISER
Due to the resignation of our test organiser we are now currently looking to find a new test organiser. Therefore, if you maybe interested or you know of someone who may consider taking on this role please contact our Chairperson Kerrie Anne Gray or a committee member. Who will be able to explain the duties in more detail.

NLFSC Gala
Hamilton Ice on Sunday the 22nd will be from 8am till 11am with the gala staring at 9am. Costs are £8 for skaters and £1 for non skaters/spectators.There is also additional Ice time at Hamilton rink on Sunday the 19th of Febuary and Sunday the 25th of March.
