Come speed skating soon!

Our season is already well underway. We had ten people skating last Tuesday when the weather felt more conducive for skating. Last night was rather warm so Dolly and I had the rink to ourselves. The ice was surprisingly firm despite the insanely warm weather earlier in the day.

Hope you're able to join us sometime soon. Best wishes for the holiday season,

Jay

End of Season Wrap-up


This past Thursday night was the last night of the 2010-11 season, and what a season it was.
  • Almost every night someone came to try speed skating for the first time, and quite a few decided to join to skate regularly
  • The weather was outstanding almost every evening we skated
  • The City staff did a great job keeping the ice in pretty good condition
Dave posted the rest of his photos from our end of season pizza night here.

Dolly, Neil and Hannah went to check out the long track oval in Lakefield earlier today. I'm sure they had a great time and will tell us all about it when our next season starts in December.

If you hung onto your club skates, please email or call me to arrange to drop them off at my house. Thanks, and we'll see you in December.
