Outdoor rinks were constructed at Kirkton, Winchelsea (beside 4, creamery), and Thames Road. A good source of water was necessary keep the rinks flooded.

The original boarded rink at ThamesRoad was moved to a new lo cation beside the church shed and became alighted ice surface, MI' must have greatly extended the hours of use. Everyone shared ice clean- ing, and volunteers in Kirkton spent countless hours caring for the ice. '... It was a big improvement when the ice surface moved indoors, church sheds, in the fifties.

Kirkton is the only still flooded and then enough cold weather to make all the work worth while. Artificial ice in arenas may e expensive but it is always there.
