It’s CARNIVAL TIME!

 There will be a FULL Dress Rehearsal Tuesday March 27, 2012 Starting @ 6:00 PM SHARP
 
All Skaters must be in costume and ready to go,
 
We will be going through the complete show from start to
  finish, once your skater has skated their number(s) they may leave if their
  coach is satisfied with their group number and does not require them to stay
  for extra rehearsals.
 
On the day of Carnival, All skaters must arrive at the
Arena (Community Centre) by 1:30, doors will be open at 1:00. 
Upon Arrival please proceed to their Assigned Dressing Room to check in
and let your group coordinator know that you are here, parents must sign their
skaters in and out.  If you are in
the first half of the show, we ask that you remain in the dressing room and get
your costume on, if you are in the second half of the show please check in, drop
off costume and skates, and you are more than welcome to proceed to the stands on the far side of the building.  

Please return to your dressing room at intermission to get ready for your
number in the second half.
 
We ask that only 1 parent come into the dressing room per
  child as it helps to keep the dressing rooms orderly.
 
At the end of the evening we have all our skaters return
to the ice for a FINALE, we ask that all skaters return to the dressing room and
  put skates on to take to the ice one last time so we may present flowers to the
  skaters (flowers will be available for purchase the day of carnival)

 Please remember that your group coordinator will be
  collecting your costume after the show so please bring a change of cloths for
  your skater.

 Check list!

RLFSC is thrilled to have you with us and we look forward to helping you achieve all of your skating goals for the year and having a lot of fun along the way. Please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the club executive if you have any questions or suggestions for us. We have plenty of activities planned for the season so please watch for our newsletter as it will contain dates and other details for upcoming events.

For our returning skaters, welcome back. We hope you have all had a terrific summer and are feeling refreshed and eager to continue honing your skills on the ice.

Your executive as well has some familiar faces as well as some new ones. They are all looking forward to providing our skaters with the best experience possible and will work hard to that end.

Halloween is fast approaching and as in past years RLFSC will be celebrating with some special activities as the date approaches. On Tuesday the 25th of October and again on Sunday the 30th of October the skaters are all invited to dress up in a costume (safe to skate in please!) and prizes will be awarded for the best costume in the Pre-CanSkate, CanSkate, and Advanced CanSkate levels.

We have set Tuesday the 20th of December as our Christmas Skate where family members are invited to come out and skate with us. More details will come in following newsletters.

A large number of personal items have been left behind after skating, particularly in the change rooms. Skaters please look around for personal belongings such as skate guards before leaving the arena.

 We’ve all been enjoying the unusually warm fall weather, but don’t be fooled…the season is well under way. Carnival will be here before you know it. It’s time to appoint a Carnival Committee and get a theme picked out. We are looking for a few volunteers who would be willing to help us make sure this year’s carnival is the best one yet! While we are putting together the Committee we would like skaters and their parents to give us some suggestions for a theme for this year.
