Dubai Ice Rink at the Dubai Mall hosted a ‘Promise ceremony’ for a group of Brownies, who develop varied skills through different group activities.

The girls enjoyed themselves and most of them, who had not been on ice before, took to skating almost instantly with guidance from the cooperative and helpful staff.

'This Promise ceremony was indeed a different experience for the Brownies and doing it on the ice made the important occasion even more memorable,' said Jane Henderson, their leader.

'The event also contributed to the basic objective of the Brownie programme in building the personality traits of courage, helping each other and trying out new things.'

Dubai Ice Rink is increasingly becoming a social hotspot for residents and visitors to Dubai. With 1.5 inches (38 mm) of ice – nearly three times the thickness of an NHL ice rink – the Olympic-sized attraction employs the latest technology to maintain the ‘frozen ice’ consistency in an indoor venue.

Ice Marshals are at hand at all times during public skating sessions to ensure customer safety, and a Zamboni – an ice resurfacing machine - is deployed across the rink every couple of hours to ensure top quality ice at all times.-TradeArabia News Service
