Skating Club is for recreational skating. The Club was established at Ridley College in 1906, and has been skating there for 90 years. The many ups and downs experienced by the Club over those years have been described by Ralph Harris in a 1976 publication.
Music is live, refreshments are provided, and the atmosphere is congenial.
Our membership consists of couples and singles, so do not hesitate to come by yourself. It is a friendly atmosphere, and you won't have to skate alone for very long. A typical program consists of 20 skates , from 7.50 to 9.50 pm, with two breaks to flood the ice, one of which is coffee break with coffee and home-made goodies included with the price of admisssion. We have two trio skates, a Paul Jones, and the famous and traditional Grand March, done to the strains of Colonel Bogie, which has been a feature for many years. On some special occasions such as our annual meeting we have a social upstairs after the skate, and an annual dinner dance usually held on or near Valentine's Day.
