Bradford Ice Skating Club

01/09/2026

As we begin the new club year, which starts today, 1st September, all members are required to complete an up-to-date membership form so we have the most up to date contact, levels and medical information for members safety.

This is required, even if you are on a monthly rolling membership.

For our Associate members, the cost for this is £50, and this gives you access to the ice x4 per year, and membership rates on club activities such as masterclasses and camps.

Our monthly membership will continue to remain at the same price of £20 per month (or £220 if paid in full before the end of September), which represents fantastic value.

The updated form can be found here: https://forms.gle/gmjcAxrqBkereXfP9

In terms of upcoming events

- Saturday 10th October - SSJ (subject to securing judges)
- Thursday 29th October (club session - Halloween Games on Ice
- Saturday 31st October - Halloween Show/Performance Skills Camp with Leah
- Saturday 21st November - Technical Performance Camp with Karen

All Saturday sessions run between 4 - 7pm with the exception of camps, which will have off-ice at least prior. The 21st November session we also have a guest coach coming in to deliver a post off-ice session focusing on injury prevention. Therefore, this camp will finish around 8pm.

We will also soon be announcing our Masterclass sessions, which take place on club nights in the next few weeks.

Our AGM will also be announced soon, and we invite members/parents/guardians to come along to this / consider joining the committee to help shape the club into an organisation that delivers ongoing value and opportunities to Bradford skaters.

Many thanks

We have been made aware of a scam occurring within the ice skating environment involving children/young people being contacted via TikTok.

The individual has told the young person that they think they know them from “the rink” and then asks them to send a photograph to confirm that they are the person they think they know.

The scammer then uses AI to create a fake naked/explicit image of the child/young person. They subsequently threaten to distribute the image to their contacts unless money is paid.

The police are aware of these incidents. This is a national scam and is not specific to any particular club or rink.

Please remind all young people about the risks of social media and, in particular:

➡️ Do not send photographs to people you don’t know, even if they claim to know you from the rink/club.
➡️ Do not accept friend/follow requests from people you don’t recognise.
➡️ Never send intimate or compromising images.
➡️ If someone threatens or blackmails you, do not pay them and do not engage further.
➡️ Tell a trusted adult immediately and report the account to TikTok and the police.


BIS will continue to look into this matter to protect the people on our sport.

If you require any support or have any enquiries please feel to contact [email protected]

Thank you for helping us keep our young people safe.

For any Associate Club Members, if you have any of your 4 ice slots available, please come along to club to make the most of your ice time.

Today, we say our official goodbye and good luck to a longstanding member of the Bradford Ice Skating Community, Alice Solorz.

Below is a message from her mum, Helen.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to everyone at Bradford Ice Arena, Bradford Ice Skating Club, and Bradford Synchronised Skating Academy.

Since my daughter, Alice Solorz, first stepped onto the ice in 2013, this community has been her second family. The dedication, patience, and amazing coaching she received here have shaped her into the skater she is today.

From the evening club practice sessions, early morning patch ice skating, to the teamwork and discipline of synchro, every moment spent under your guidance has been invaluable.

It is with immense pride and a heavy heart that I say she is leaving to tour the USA as a professional performer with Disney On Ice

This dream could not have been realised without the tireless support, encouragement, and foundation provided by your coaching staff and the entire club & synchro academy.

Thank you for nurturing her love of skating and helping her achieve this incredible milestone. We will always consider Bradford her true skating home and will continue to support and cheer you on.

With all our love and appreciation, Helen & Alice
