Hourly Rate:
-£4 per hour with your own skates (covers hall, insurance, etc., excludes coaching fees)
– £5 per hour if you hire skates.
Annual Skating Weeks:
You’re charged for 40 weeks of skating per year, even though there are usually 44-46 weeks. This accounts for potential cancellations (like snow) and simplifies administration.
Calculating Annual Costs (for 1 hour per week):
-Own Skates: 40 weeks x £4/hour = £160 per year.
– Hire Skates: 40 weeks x £5/hour = £200 per year.
Calculating Monthly Costs (for 1 hour per week):
Divide the annual cost by 12 months, and round to the nearest pound:
-Own Skates: £160 / 12 = £13 per month.
-Hire Skates: £200 / 12 = £17 per month.
Calculating Monthly Costs (for more than 1 hour per week):
Multiply the monthly cost for 1 hour by the total number of hours you skate per week.
Example:
– Skater with own skates, 2 hours per week: £13/hour x 2 hours = £26 per month.
– Skater hiring skates, 3 hours per week: £17/hour x 3 hours = £51 per month.
