The annual active schools Ice Experience took place at the Magnum Leisure Centre on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th February. This event has been running for several years now and provides an opportunity for all young people attending any of North Ayrshire’s Additional Support Needs Schools a chance to experience a range of ice based sports and activities.

With a change from the normal venue of Harvies ice rink, while renovations take place, the Magnum, hosted the event. Young people had the chance to experience ice skating, curling, ice hockey shooting and a fun sledging activity.

This year the event attracted 65 volunteers from many different local clubs including Ardrossan, Auchenmades and Kilwinning curling clubs, Auchenharvie figure skating, Ayrshire flyers speed skating and the Magnum ice hockey club. We also had the help of sports coaching students from Kilmarnock College.

Without the continued support of all of these volunteers, this most popular event would not be possible.

A huge THANK YOU from North Ayrshire Active Schools team to all who helped.
