This is the home page of the Streatham Ice Skating Action Group (SISAG). There has been an ice rink in Streatham (South London, UK) since 1931. In the light of the planning application by Tescos to re-develop the site, and Lambeth Council's consultation on the surrounding area, many people were concerned about possibly losing the ice rink, but were not in contact with each other. SISAG was set up to share information and co-ordinate a campaign to preserve ice skating in Streatham. The aims of SISAG are in Aims and Objectives. Information about the campaign is posted on Campaign News. Information about SISAG email updates, and project updates from Lambeth is available at Project Updates. The original Streatham rink was the second oldest in the country. For some historical information see Rink History. The temporary Brixton rink is open and events are happening there - see Rink Events. For links to other relevant sites see Links. For details of how to contact the group see Contact SISAG. SISAG is also part of the Stakeholders Group that Lambeth has set up to be consulted about the leisure development. ********Latest ********Last Part of 1931 Rink Building GoneThe remaining back part of the original Streatham Ice Rink has been demolished. The building has now completely disappeared. Work is underway on the site of the new Leisure Centre and Rink (see link to new pictures below). Redskins Win and Avoid RelegationStreatham Redskins beat Slough Jets 11-2 in their final game of the season and so avoided National Ice Hockey League One South relegation. It ensured a happy end to what has been a turbulent season because of the move to Brixton half-way through. There is coverage in the Streatham Guardian here and on the Redskins website here.
