Happy New Year 2026

I hope you’ve had a great Christmas holiday and that Santa was kind. Wishing you all the best for 2026. There is a lot going on, so please read to the end. There is something especially exciting at the end……

Firstly, membership for 2026 is now due. Memebership is needed for all patch skaters and it also allows you access to our events – simulations, the Annuals competition, mini camps and more. We are hoping to build on the events which we organised last year. Some events are open to non members, but in this situation, our members have a reduced fee and priority. Find the form here : https://wbisc.org.uk/membership-2026/

The next simulation is on Sunday 1st February. We have 40 spaces and currently have 26 entries, so if you want to do it, get in quickly. Once we hit 40 skaters, the simulation will be closed. You need to be a member to take part in this event. This will be checked. Please enter using this link : https://wbisc.org.uk/simulation-feb-1st-2026/

The AGM is an important place for you to have your say. Events cannot be organised without volunteers, so please come along. You don’t have to join the committee but all new members are appreciated. The more people on board the more ideas there will be. We all do this to help the skaters, young and old. The AGM is on Sunday 4th January at 10am in the events suite at the ice rink. Please come and support us.

Now for the really exciting news. North East Opens is going ahead !!! Entries will be opening soon. Find out more by going to the NEW North East Opens Facebook page which has just been setup: Please follow this link :
