PLEASE BE MINDFUL:
- If you are a competent skater, be mindful of beginners.
- If you have fallen, try to get up as soon as possible, you are much less visible when you are on the ground.
- If figure skating sessions are in place, the figure skaters have the right of way so refrain from their areas (usually the centre) where possible.
- If you suspect someone is seriously hurt have someone 'stand guard’ to prevent collisions with them, and inform one of the crew members so they can assist.
- It is not safe to attend the ice rink under the influence of drugs or alcohol, those who are intoxicated will be refused entrance to the rink.
