I hope everyone is having a nice Labor Day weekend. In order to maximize the flexibility for our members and guest skaters, we have made all of our ice sessions to be 30 minutes in duration. So for example, our Saturday 11am-12noon ice is now two sessions: 11-11:30am and 11:30-noon. This has only affected Friday evening and Saturday ice (as everything else already was 30 minutes).

If you were previously signed up for sessions on Saturday or Friday evening, you are still signed up for exactly the same times (i.e. you are now signed up for two half hour sessions versus a single one-hour session). Contract packages have also been modified to correspond to these new times.

Thanks to a number of you who have contracted your ice. We still have space available for our fall contracts and as a reminder, when you contract, the ice is discounted and your space is guaranteed. Some have asked what happens if you contract part of the way through the season as we are now- the answer is that you will receive make up credits for any session that was missed from the start of the contract. (The only exception here is Friday evening and Saturday contracts which I prorated to be just for the remainder of the season as of today). These make up credits are good until June 2022 and are used automatically when you book ice a-la-carte.

You can contract ice packages until September 15th. Contracting packages, booking individual sessions, and all things regarding ice sign up and management is done on Ice+ (https://shakerfigureskatingclub.org).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
