Bingo Fundraiser
We earned A LOT of money by working 13 bingos last year. With these 13 bingos we were able to reduce our fees by at least $180 per skater! Needless to say, bingos are a key funding component and we need (and appreciate) your help!
We are asking each family to work two bingos again this year. If your family is made up of more than one skater, we ask that you volunteer to work a couple more if at all possible. We do have extra spaces to fill in.
*Each family must submit a $150 Bingo and Equipment deposit. This is returned when the family has completed 2 Bingos and returned all rental equipment.

Skate Rentals
FACT: Most Quinte Blades members DO NOT own their skates.
Speed skates are a specialized piece of equipment and can be costly (range from $400 to over $1500). We have an inventory of over 90 pairs of skates to fit almost about everyone. As young skaters' feet grow, they can be fitted with a new pair of skates. Adult skaters who enjoy skating and wish to stay with the sport usually purchase their own skates after 2 or 3 seasons. Renting skates will cost $125 for the entire season. Blades are hand sharpened by trained club members, sharpening as needed will cost $25 for the entire season.
