And another tidbit of rink information. The grapevine is saying that the Queenstown rink will be open all year round from now on. Anyone heard about this yet? Or is it just rumour?
Ryan,
Wow! Lots of movement on the ice rink front at the moment … http://www.stuff.co.nz/thepress/0a22982.html

Here’s a much larger version of the same video. I’m having troubles getting this to stream properly so it may be a little jerky on occasion until the video has fully downloaded.

This looks like the place … http://www.glaciercentre.co.nz/%5B/url:pnnq3lkm%5DThere doesn’t seem to be anything on their website about a skating rink though.

[/quote:l1rwt3tj]I don’t follow.
No one knew about the scheduling, that was why I’ve been asking about it.

[/quote:3gb124ca]Yes, it was very exciting.

Just a thought…[/quote:3a8ouew5]I’m not sure what your point is there.
I shouldn’t need to go to a meeting to find out a schedule and it wasn’t discussed at any of them anyway so it’s a moot point. And no the SIHL schedule did not have game times on it and I’ve never said I’d deal with schedules anyway, just that I’d post them and assume that they’re accurate.

Yes you should have! As I would be richer because of it!
Phil Pielak-Jones has now told me that beginners practice will be going ahead at the regular time but on the curling rink instead. Hopefully that’s the final decision.

Ryan,
Joyce has replied and confirmed that it is an error on our end. Nationals schedule is as posted and beginners practices will be moved forward to a later time. I haven’t heard exactly what time but I’m guessing immediately after the last Nationals games.

The appropriate action would have been to email Joyce, then get her to clarify the times with the NZIHF and SIHL if need be….I hope you only asked them to confirm the times, and not told them off for double booking, because that would be a bad look[/quote:jyuv3jic]I just emailed them to check if there was an updated schedule I was missing that’s all. And no I haven’t told anyone off for double booking, I don’t even know who it is that’s double booked anyway. Susan Dale (SIHL secretary) said that the schedule I have is the current one so there’s probably been a mess up at our end. And I did email Joyce, but haven’t heard back hence broadened my search for an answer, seems reasonable to me.
I’m also officially hosting the SIHL website on here too, so there’s nothing inappropriate about contacting the SIHL secretary with errors, she regularly sends me corrections and vice versa, ditto with the NZIHF web admin who I also sent the email to.
"Azzy77":jyuv3jic wrote:This is hardly a double booking, the nationals have to be held over weekends to allow people to travel to play them[/quote:jyuv3jic]I’m not sure how it can’t be a double booking, the beginners practice is sposed to be on Sundays, if it isn’t then we should be told, pretty simple really. Actually, maybe you’re meaning there’s not a double booking with the rink, in which case you are most likely correct. What I meant was, there’s a double up in the schedules.
Ryan,
I’ve emailed the NZIHF and SIHL secretaries to find out what the deal is. We do have 1x professional hockey coach who has been told to turn up at 6pm on Sunday night to coach the adult beginners though so someone has screwed up somewhere along the line.
Perhaps we should suggest to the DIHA that someone is put in charge of organising ice times until we get some sort of automated system up and running? Joyce is currently doing the bookings with Neil, but we really need someone extra to oversee what gets booked in at what time and to ensure there are no double bookings like this.
Ryan,
