Let's go skating
Not sure where? Nobody to skate with? Well here's the solution!
Welcome to the TrySkating.com "Skate Days" calendar providing an opportunity to enjoy TGO and meet other skaters at different locations throughout the year, just turn up, its FREE. You skate at your own risk so remember to wear safety pads and a helmet for your own protection. Each event is graded for difficulty, full information in the TrySkating monthly newsletter (subscribe now it's free). Due to the changeable nature of Scottish weather some events may be cancelled at short notice. Please note the skate calendar is regularly updated and changes to the schedule do occur. If in doubt on the day contact Don Morton to make certain the skate event is on before travelling.
