The Hall is booked and confirmed at the lower rate of £30/hr.
Just need to pay tomorrow.
Please make sure your wheels are "clean" and won't mark the floor with debris/chips and stones/etc. so we can leave a good first impression. Wink

We're booked from 4-5pm.
Woohoo!!... Very Happy

Can't wait.
Anyone bring some cones or whatever to mark 4 corners?

New wheels will work better inside (I know most know this but hay).

Hi hope myself and Eta can be there Smile

If any of you have membership forms to give me, can you give them to Andy or PeterC, ta. I'll give Peter some blank ones for you to fill in, you can pay by bank transfer as usual if you like.

There were a couple of membership forms, but I think Peter took them Laughing

Hey that was a fantastic session, I am really sad I will be away for the next two Saturdays.

Anyway, thansk to Christophe for organising and to Kimmo and his equally competent training assistant Tanya for the drills. Look forward to the next one I can make.

Strongly suggest any of you that are on the fence about coming to these sessions, take the plunge. All ten attendees loved it Laughing

I second that!!! Thanks Christophe, Kimmo and Tanya Very Happy

This is the first group training session I have attended. I was always apprehensive that my skating just wasn't up to it. It isn't! But that doesn't matter. Drills were introduced/demonstrated and everyone just got on with practising them at their own level. Everyone encouraging everyone else to do their best. I got a lot out of it.

Now that I've been to one, I'll definitely be more inclined to do more - once I'm back from my 3 months in South America Very Happy

Good session all, Thanks to Christophe for the organising, all the tips from Kimmo and Tanya for the lift.

I'm very glad you guys enjoyed it. It's been hard work to get our foot in there. I wasn't sure how suitable the surface of the main hall would be. One 5-a-side pitch is just about right as our "minimum skating area" I think. Let's hope we can do it again soon.
