  The club has reviewed the levels of the club group lessons and after consultation with the coaches has decided to move the Level 2 skaters (on a trial basis for the rest of the term) to the earlier time of 5 - 5.30pm and provide an extra coach for this time. Levels 2, 3, 4, 5 and above will be divided into groups at the coaches' discretion.

  If there are Level 2 skaters who cannot make this earlier time then they are still eligible to remain in the 6 - 6.30pm group lesson however the option is either/or as Level 2 skaters will not be allowed to participate in both sessions. This reorganisation of the groups will commence on Tuesday 5 February.
