We are a development club that aims to make ice skating and its variety of sports as accessible as possible. No equipment or experience is needed! We provide all kit/skates for free (subject to availability) 

We also offer minibuses to all games, on-ice training sessions and recreational ice skates, with our local rink being Cambridge.
