Ballet for skaters

Dear All,

Just a reminder that ballet for skating takes place on Thursdays at 6 till 7. The cost is €30 per month (which is really good value if you check the normal ballet schools fees) and we have an excellent teacher.

Please let us know this week if you are interested in taking part (email Anita at  anitatmasterson@gmail.com).

Skates order

Dear All,

I am going to send an order for new boots (Risport or Edea) over the next couple of weeks, so if you need a new pair please email me (sabrinavassia@yahoo.com) asap. I will have prices over the next few days.

You need to email me:

  • model (RF3, RF2, RF light)
  • size (the 200 and something number that is under the sole of the boot)

It is best to try on the boots, you cannot rely on your shoe size, so please check what boots fit you correctly before ordering (you can look for your size at the hall or ask to try on a pair from the other skaters).

Please note that once you have the boots you will need to order the frames and wheels, which are sold separately by Picskates. You can check their prices on their website www.picskates.com.

I will order the correct size frame for your boots if you need a new one.

Any questions, please send me a quick email or talk to me at class.

Ballet for skating

Dear All,

Just to let you know that ballet for Kelle’s, Anita’s and Emilie’s classes is now on Thursdays at 6.00 o’clock. As you know ballet is an essential part of skater’s training, as it improves posture, balance, strength and flexibility.

We are very lucky to have a top class ballet teacher who has made himself available to teach our skaters.

The cost is €30 per month. To reserve a place, please contact Anita (anitatmasterson@gmail.com). Places are limited.

Moving!!

Dear All,

We are finally ready to move to our new premises at the Marina, on the Centre Park Road (please see exact location on Google Maps) from this Saturday morning 5th August.

Classes will be held in Little Island Sports Complex at the usual time (Wed at 6.30, Thursday at 5.00 and Friday at 5.00) until Friday this week, then at 9.30 on Sunday at the new hall.

We would be very grateful if some of you could give us a hand in bringing some skates and equipment on Friday evening from Little Island to the Marina, maybe if you are heading in that direction on your way home…

If you can, would you please text Kelle before Friday at 086 0666797 to let her know.

We really hope that the move will run smoothly and that this will mark an important step forward for our club, but please forgive us if there happen to be some hiccups at the start…

Happy skating!

Sabrina
