To: Skaters in the UK

[icenut84]

Hi all
I have a couple of things to say:

1 - Altrincham ice rink is closing for good in about 6 weeks. The shop is having a sale to get rid of all the stock - ALL SKATES ARE HALF PRICE! So if you're planning on getting some new ones, you'll save a lot of money if you can get them from there. IIRC, they sell Belati, Risport, Wifa, maybe some others. I think the sale includes blades too.

2 - Does anyone here skate at Sheffield, Nottingham or Coventry? I need some information as soon as possible, I can't find what I'm looking for on the net. I need to know public skating times (and which are the quietest/which are to be avoided etc), possible lesson times (eg. group lessons? private lessons?) and any deals that they do (eg. public session included with lesson) and prices if poss, coaching, etc. Also, what is the rink and the ice like? (I've been to Nottingham but not the other two.) If you know this information but don't want to post where you skate on the board, please PM me? I really need to know.

Thanks in advance...
