Our History:

The past President, the late Fatima Khan, started the club in 1975 to further the interests of figure skating in the Western Cape and to provide the community, especially the youth with a creative outlet and interest. For the past 10 years, we have been sponsoring 12 skaters from the S.O.S. Village in Thornton by giving them free figure-skating lessons. The club has competed with success nationally and internationally. A number of solo skaters who began their skating careers with our club have won many solo dance and synchronized national titles. They have also competed in international competitions in Belgium, Croatia, Italy, London and France.
