GET YOUR SKATES ON FOR OPPORTUNITIES AT THE NATIONAL ICE CENTRE

The National Ice Centre boasts a position as the UK's premier ice sports venue, with two Olympic-sized ice rinks under its roof. It is the busiest ice rink in the UK, with more public skaters and championship skaters than any other rink in the country. Situated in the centre of Nottingham, a legacy to the city's legends Torvill and Dean, the NIC is the heart of British ice sports, home to the GB Short Track Speed Skating Squad who will shortly be competing in the Winter Olympics, the Nottingham Panthers professional ice hockey team, and the training ground of an élite skating academy plus nearly 300 junior hockey players. Whether you're interested in sponsoring local or national skating events, international competitions, world championships or even family entertainment skating shows, the NIC has an opportunity to match your needs. Maybe you'd like to get involved in sponsoring the centre's ice sports programmes, from junior ice hockey to synchronised skating, ice dance to speed skating - or sponsor one of its highly-acclaimed Playing For Success flagship programmes involving local schools. You may wish to become a partner for one of the hugely popular themed public skating sessions, which attract thousands of skaters every week, or perhaps attract their attention with your name in the ice or in lights around one of the two rinks. You might even want to sponsor one of the NIC's skaters, and help them become the next Torvill or Dean, and achieve the success that they deserve in a sport that sees dedicated youngsters skating from 5.00 am in the morning - something that requires physical and financial commitment in equal measures. Alternatively you may have a more original way to target the half a million ice sports fans that visit the venue during the year.   Contact: Geoff Huckstep, Chief Executive Officer.
