# Rollerblading - Tuesday Evenings

 

At Maccabi Sport & Leisure is situated at May Terrace, Giffnock, G46 6LD

It isn't handy for everyone but it is one of the few satisfactory small halls for skating. All levels of ability (see FAQs) are welcome. This is a recreational skating session not a lesson but some help may be given subject to the number of skaters present. The emphasis is on relaxed skating, keeping fit, having fun, after all that is what skating is all about plus getting ready to skate the TGO when better weather comes along.

The purpose of indoor skating is to provide an ideal safe practising environment on a level floor with a good surface. This makes skating much easier especially for early beginners or long time returners. You progress comfortably at your own pace and at the same time have the luxury of avoiding the uncertainty of Scottish Weather.

F.A.Q.

• Can a "first-time" beginner come along? We prefer "first-time" beginners to take lessons first, see skating lessons. If you're anxious to get started take beginner lessons at the Arc Sports Centre on Sundays or arrange a private lesson.
• What time do we start skating? 8.15pm and finish at 9.45pm
• How much does it cost? Maximum charge £5 payable on the day.
• Are hire skates available? Yes this should be possible if you order the skates beforehand. Call/text Don Morton on 07733 276 902 or email inline@tryskating.com two days in advance. The skate hire is FREE for this session and includes safety pads but not a helmet.
• Heel-Brakes. If you use your own skates the heel-brake should be the non-marking type for indoor skating. Black stoppers need to be "taped" to prevent black marks on the floor.
• Do I need a helmet? Helmets are recommended. Please bring your cycle helmet. You skate without one at your own risk.
• Can children come alone? Definitely not. This is an adult skate session, no under 13's allowed.
• What should I wear? Comfortable casual clothing. Jeans or similar and lightweight tops because the hall gets quite warm after we have been skating a while.
• Does the sports centre have toilets? Yes of course.
• Travelling by Public Transport? Best come by bus. Use the Bus Finder. Type Giffnock into the empty box. The nearest train station is Giffnock and is easily walkable.
• Coming by car? The centre has its own car park. Make sure you do not leave any valuables in your car during the skate session.

Did we forget something? (we usually do)

• Got a question we haven't thought about?
• Need some more help or advice?
• Then please do not hesitate to ask........
• Email or text/call 07733 276 902.

Finally

Skating is a balancing activity you skate at your own risk. Wear safety pads and a helmet at all times and obey the safety instructions issued on the day by the person in charge. You have a duty of care to yourself as well as to others.
