We hold weekly lessons with numerous experienced skaters who are there to lend a hand or to mess around with in a game of street hockey. These Wednesday afternoon lessons in front of the Albert Memorial can entail anything from learning to stop, to slalom, new skating techniques or play hockey and speed skating.
Skate society also has regular indoor roller hockey sessions in Wilson House Sports Hall and is always looking for new players whether you are a seasoned veteran or wobbly fresher.
In addition to all this we also take part in skating activities including weekly cross London skates, night skates and will enter more challenging events like the skate marathon for those who want to take part. The hockey team also organises matches throughout the year against other university teams.
We have a few pairs of skates to lend out to members if you haven't got your own. If this sounds good to you, join us!
Skating time:
Outdoor: from 13:00 on Wednesdays (leave from Beit Quad)
Indoor: 16:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays.
Skates for borrowing
We've recently bought a few pairs of skates for the novices to borrow to try out skating!
