Description:

Last week, I posted a trip for ice skating at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre. I had a grand time gliding around under the flourescent lights with some voc-ers and am planning to go back and exploit the (free) ice time some more. I also heard a rumor that there MIGHT (no promises) be some sort of outdoor skating event happening in term 2 depending on the weather - so if you'd like to freshen up your skills, this is for you. 

Beginners are welcome! I am very happy to help anyone who feels they need assistance - there are also those block things to push and stabilize yourself with available at the rink.

You can rent skates for ~4 dollars at the Pro Shop, which is where we can meet at 9:40 pm. 

If you are interested in coming on any or all of the Tuesdays, you have the option to 1) sign up as interested or committed 2) show up (though I won't know who you are) or 3) join this whatsapp groupchat https://chat.whatsapp.com/GEPsxNpg5usJI1LNhhQSGX 4) all of the above :) 

*registration on the website is advisable because it can fill up. You can register for free here: https://recreation.ubc.ca/ice/drop-in-ice/

Also, if there is another skating time you would like to go because you can't make it on Tuesdays, join the groupchat and pop in the time - it might work out. I also may run a similar series in term 2 as well, depending on interest.
