Lunch bookings at Mardyke Arena

Dear All,

Please note that lunches at the competition will have to be pre-booked and pre-paid as it will not be possible to purchase them on the day.

Attached is the luch menu provided by BodyChef. Price is €11 per meal.

Please reserve your meals by tomorrow Monday 25th by emailing Eibhlin: eibhlincassidy@yahoo.co.uk.

World Open and Summer training

Dear All,
The day of the World Open is now fast approaching, so just a couple of points to clarify:
Tickets are for sale this week only. There will be a possibility to purchase tickets at the door ONLY if there are places still available, but we cannot garantee this and places cannot be reserved without payment.
For skaters taking part in the opening ceremony and in the podium it is essential that they wear their CFSA dress (black and turquoise with logo).
Skaters should also wear the same dress for the official skating practice.
The timetable for the competition AND for the official practice for each category is on display at the hall.
The menu for lunches provided is also on display. The cost of lunches is €11 per meal. If you wish to avail of these please inform Eibhlin (eibhlincassidy@yahoo.co.uk) as soon as possible.
One last thing: this is a unique opportunity to watch top level skaters from Ireland and from all over the world right at here at our doorstep, as well as a great experience for our younger skaters, some of whom are taking their first steps in the world of competitions.
As you know a lot of work and effort has gone into organising this and we cannot thank enough everyone who helped and those who provided practical support and encouragement to all involved.
We hope that you and your children thouroughly enjoy the event and that all the good memories remain as well as the medals!
Just a reminder that we will close for two weeks after the competition (we all need some rest!) from 9th to 22nd July included.
Training will resume as normal on 23rd July. Fees for the summer term will be equivalent to a month and a half, so you can divide your normal 5-monthly fees by 5 and multiply this by 1.5.
Summer camps will take place on the weeks starting on 23rd July (Kelle and Eimear’s classes only),
13th August (all classes) and 20th August (Liane’s class only).
Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Survey for study on sport participation in adults

Hi Everyone,
I am going to ask you for a favour if you can spare 5 or 10 minutes of your time.
I am currently working on a study on sport participation and sport sustainability in the adult population in Cork.
This study is part of my thesis for a Master in Public Health.
I am hoping that getting some information on the factors facilitating or getting in the way of sustained practice of sport and physical activity in adults could help planning for future inititatives to promote exercise and physical activity for all.
I would be very grateful if you could complete the online questionnaire by clicking on the link below:
This should not take you longer than 10 minutes.
Please note that all answers are anonymous and you will not be asked for any identifying information.
Thank you sincerely for your time,

Volunteers needed for World Open!

Dear All,

The time is now approaching quickly… We need to make sure that our big event runs smoothly and that it will be a memorable experience for all involved.

Once again, we are asking for your help on the days of the competition (5th-8th July): we would need volunteers to help at reception area, to stand at entrances, gallery, etc. and directing skaters and audience to their designated area, to help with teas & coffee, etc.

Depending on number of people available we would ask you to help for a minimum of 3-4 hours. Volunteers will get a half price meal voucher, free t-shirt and a free ticket for the event on a day of their choice.

Please note that we cannot garantee that you will be able to see the competition while you are helping, but you are free to watch before and after if you wish.

Please let me know if you think that you may be able to help.

Once again, thank you so much in advance,

Sabrina
