Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

It won't be a fridge. It's a Skiplex rolling carpet unfortunately. Crying or Very sad

Good to hear about the rink though, I love watching ice hockey (even the lowly levels in the UK) but nearest teams are either Basingstoke or Cardiff. The former is 3 hours away and the latter I can't bring myself to support because they're Welsh.

@SnoodlesMcFlude, have you ever watched the Swindon ice hockey team? I would have thought that Swindon is closer to Devon and easier to get to than Basingstoke.

I haven't, I was wondering if they are any good, and worth taking the kids to see.

The chance of a snowdome is Swindon is pretty small, I'd have thought - there doesn't seem to be much money even for restoring the Oasis leisure pool.

@tomj, never been but there's not much difference between the two. Only been the Basingstoke once but it's a bit better for me as I can visit a friend in Guildford (have also been to see Guildford Flames, just depends on how the fixtures fall)

Definately. We saw the Swindon Wildcats a couple of weeks ago funnily enough and had a brilliant evening. Even our usually bored 16 year old daughter we had dragged along had a great time - she didn't look at her phone once for the whole game! Our 12 yo son loved all the "handbags".

This one at Weston-Super-Mare looked good

http://www.leisuredome.co.uk/Home.aspx

but unfortunately the website doesn't appear to have been updated since 2011 and the company involved Leisuredome (UK) Ltd has had an application to strike it off the Companies register by the directors of the company recorded at companies house yesterday (10/4/17).

Such a shame.

I think somewhere around Bristol (Swindon, Weston Super Mud etc) would have quite a good catchement area, all of the south West would be pretty much a captive audience, then south wales and across towards London too. I've driven up from Somerset to Tamworth a number of times just to slide for a day......

Several from Snowtrax do Bournemouth to Hemel regularly. That must be a similar distance.

I've been to Hemel from Exeter a couple of times, which feels like a fair drag.

I read the original developers were sacked by the local Council due to every increasing delays. I believe the ambition is still there just need someone new to back and build it.

I've given up hope for the Bristol area. We don't even have a decent sized concert venue. They're concentrating on the superbus at the moment it seems.

Ah right. That's a shame. Traffic-wise Cribbs is a nightmare, so I would have thought Swindon would've been better for this enterprise, but I suppose you have to go where the land availability is.

Apologies for dragging up an older thread but there is some new news announced today on the proposed Swindon fridge:

Quote:
Many in Swindon will recognise the description of what is being promised with a ski centre, IMAX cinema, bowling alley, hotel, bars and restaurants all still on the agenda. 
Operators are said to be lined up ready to deliver on each of the aspects of the scheme, 

I wonder who?
Quote:
We also now know that the ski centre will rival those in Milton Keynes and Castleford with two slopes and real snow cannons. 

Oh, right, them then.
