Glasgow Ice Centre

Mar 12, 2021

 

Since the closure of the Summit Ice rink in 1998, the city of Glasgow has been without any ice rink facility for sports such as Curling, Ice Skating and Ice Hockey.

The recent closure of the dedicated curling rink within the Renfrewshire Intu Braehead retail facility and the future uncertainty of the arena (home of Glasgow Clan Ice Hockey) at the same venue leads to an urgent requirement of a dedicated ice sports facility within the City of Glasgow.

The Glasgow Ice Centre project aims to raise funds, work with key partners and deliver a world class facility for all ice sports which will be suitable for hosting curling events, professional ice hockey and skating for all levels and abilities.

Working in partnership with the Glasgow Ice centre we have designed and produced a custom face mask. With every purchase of one of these masks FXG will donate an ice shattering £7 to their project.

The masks are available on our website here

Supporting Clan Henderson Society

Aug 15, 2020

Now $3300 raised for Clan Henderson Society

We have partnered with the Clan Henderson Society (primarily USA based) and to date have raised over $2000 from sales of our custom masks which feature our reproduction of Ancient Henderson tartan and the Clan crest. The funds go to the Clan Henderson Society Scholarship Fund.

In the USA the masks are priced at $15 and $5 from each sale is donated back to the fund.

We have a great opportunity to support our scholarship program through the purchase of Clan Henderson Society masks. The masks are constructed using the Clan Henderson Tartan material with crest. The masks are $15 each (+$5 shipping and handling), $5 of which goes to support the Clan Henderson Society.

The Clan Henderson Society is a non-profit that focuses on key areas, including: to foster Scottish culture and activities, promote Scottish Festivals and Games, and foster fellowship and friendship.

The Clan Henderson Society exists as a society of Scots-Irish heritage for descendants of MacEanruig (“son of Henry”) and any and all who support the Society’s objectives and purposes. By convening at Scottish Games and Festivals the Society helps recruit new members. Since April all games and festivals have been cancelled so the Society was missing a major source of new revenue to keep the Society operating.

The Society issues various types and amounts of scholarships for Celtic Arts and Music, academics, and performing group donations. 

The masks are stocked and available from Clan members (contact sarah@foxglide.co.uk) in the USA or from this website. https://fxg-masks.co.uk/product/ancient_henderson-tartan-facemask-vb/ Shipping is available to most countries.
