I do hope the Ice rink topics on this site had some thing to do with all this interest in skating, Well done lyn ,when are you going next???

maggs, do not go to the SNOWDOME at Tamworth then £8 in the week for 2 hours & £9 on Friday Nights for 2 1/2 hours (Friday mornings 10 till 1 the only time you get a longer skate for £8 ) & I used to think 2/6d was to much !!!!!

Any one of you Guys going Skating soon if so when & were ? (what time ? )

I am with you Bernard, used to cost me 2/6d for a session of skating at the old rink. Now I have to remorgage the house to take the family (Grankids). Things like this are just like the cost of petrol, as long as we pay the price then they will never go down. I say NATIONAL BOYCOTT is needed lol...

Yes John,that was me & that was our back lawn not a pond. Its a thing with me that when we have cold snap like this folks can have a very safe ice rink in the back yard, 3" of ice over the lawn or any flat area can make a great rink . Will be nice to put a face to the name so post those pics...
