The Schomberg Skating Club has operated for over 35 years as a non-profit volunteer operated organization, and is looking forward to another successful season. The reason for our success is the continuing support from a wide variety of volunteers and active participation of skaters, parents and extended family.
Some of the participation is on an ad hoc basis; some is more formalised. For those willing to become involved in a “formal” basis, there are a number of roles that may be chosen.
