To be disgusted with Blackburn Arena Ice Rink

Went to collect DS from a skating party, and was told that in order to come in to collect him, I would have to pay £1.70!!!! I explained that I was just going to go into the cafe where they were eating, pick him up and walk back out, and was refused entry to do that unless I gave them £1.70. The irony was that the party girls parents had already paid £1.70 for me to go in at the beginning of the party, I had spent £5 on food and drinks in the cafe and was just taking DD outside because she was getting restless. They said that I could collect him from outside, but how would he have known to come out? Keeping children inside the arena is keeping them safe, expecting them to wait in the foyer is not as secure as it is straight onto a main road, yet parents are expected to pay for the priviledge of collecting their children.
