Skate Swap – Saturday, September 10

After a year hiatus, we are bringing back our Annual Skate Swap which will take place on Saturday, September 10, from 10:00 am to noon in the change area outside of the rink.

If you wish to place items (skates, dresses, skirts, etc.) for sale in the swap, please read and follow the procedure

  1. Items for sale will be received between 9:00 am and 9:50 am only. There will be a payment envelope available for each item being offered for sale. Fill in the form (name, price of item) and attach the envelope to your item, using the elastic provided.
  1. Please note:  All skates must be approved by the attending coach before being put out for sale to ensure they are in good condition. The coach will review all skates at 9:50 am. Skates that do not meet with the coach’s approval can be retrieved immediately or after the sale by the seller. There is no guarantee skates put into the swap will be offered for sale.
  1. Envelopes for sold items and all unsold items must be picked up between noon and 12:45 pm.  Our club does not have room to store things. Any items not collected in the 45 minutes following the swap will be taken to a consignment store, and proceeds will be paid out to RPFSC. Any items not accepted by the consignment store will be donated to charity.

If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected]

Details for StarSkate 1 & 2 and Junior Carnival Costume Fitting – Saturday, February 20

In order to facilitate costume fittings this Saturday, please ensure your skater is present at the Rink Dresssing Room by the following times.  Please be on time.

  • 9:00 am – Junior Skaters
  • 10:00 am – Starskate 2
  • 10:15 am – StarSkate 1

Please note that unless you are a volunteer parent assisting with costume sewing, parents will be asked to remain outside of the designated costume dressing room.

We have costumes for your skaters to try on, and the volunteer moms of the costume committee will then be pinning and making note of alterations that are needed to fit the costume.

This is a time consuming and important process and your patience is appreciated.

If you are a sewer and would like to help us out, please introduce yourself to Dennis Bohme or or Anne Tynan this Saturday.

If for any reason your child will be unable to attend their fitting this weekend, please email Dennis Bohme at [email protected]
