Scottish Curling, in partnership with Glasgow Ice Centre, have tonight launched an offer to buy Ayr Ice Rink in a bid to save ice sports in the area.The proposal sets out plans to keep the current rink at Limekiln Road open and functioning for "roughly the next five years" while a new facility is built.
Curling, hockey, and skating would all continue to have a home, and the rink would be open to the community."We’ve had extensive conversations with a variety of agencies over the past weeks and indeed months," said Scottish Curling CEO Vincent Bryson. "We believe this collaboration with Glasgow Ice Centre, who are already a registered charity, is our best bid to keep Ayr Ice Rink open for the next few years and keep ice sports activities going."Glasgow Ice Centre was founded as a charity in 2020 with the objective of seeking to "improve the health, wellbeing, and quality of life" of the population by introducing a wide range of leisure activities and ice rink sports, such as curling, hockey, and skating.Alan Hannah, a current Scottish Curling Director and high-performance curling coach with a wealth of experience across the sport, chairs the Glasgow Ice Centre Trustees.He said: "We are excited about the possibility of retaining ice sports in Ayrshire. "Whilst our name contains the word “Glasgow, ” our charity was formed to act in the best interest of all ice sports nationwide. "By making an offer for Ayr Ice Rink we are acting within the remit of our charitable aims, and I hope the offer is welcomed by the rink’s shareholders."The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free
