Introducing RPFSC Buy & Sell

We are excited to be piloting a “Buy & Sell Binder” (which can be found at our Registration desk).  This is to facilitate RPFSC members selling to RPFSC members – any skating clothing and skating equipment including figure skates and skate bags.

It will be up to you to complete a “Buy & Sell Form” to list your item and leave your contact information so that other members who browse through the binder may reach you to buy or to sell.  “Buy & Sell Forms” can be picked up from our Registration Desk.
If you wish to sell skates, you will be required to have our Head Coach Marnie to check the skates to ensure that the blade is in good condition and has room for future sharpening.

For now, forms, instructions and conditions to list items for “Buy & Sell” can be found in the binder and in the near future, available on our website.

Limited Parking on Saturdays

The Nat Bailey Winter Market  begins Saturday, November 7th and runs until April 23rd, 2016 from 10am to 2pm in the parking lot and plaza of Nat Bailey Stadium and Hillcrest Centre. Parking will be VERY limited on these days. Please ensure you allow additional time to find parking so that you will not be late for lessons – especially for CanSkate lessons at noon!
