The cost of private lessons with the rink’s coaches is rising by 50p per quarter of an hour from 1 May 2010. Lessons will cost £7.50 for 15 minutes, and £15 for 30 minutes.

A reminder that if a lesson is cancelled without 24 hours prior notice, the full lesson price is due.

Private lessons take place during patch ice sessions and skaters should be aware of the following points:

Patch ice is for practice; it is not a just a social time. Please use the time for skating.

Patch ice must be paid for before stepping onto the ice. Please bring a patch ice ticket or the patch ice fee with you.

Finally, a reminder that there is a coaching fee for all skaters who compete in competitions or take tests that covers the coaches’ loss of earnings and time.
