The Club is well known for its stunning display skating and groups of skaters have performed in local public events e.g. Dickens Festival and also on television. Club members have performed live on Blue Peter three times.
Club members perform Pantomimes on Roller Skates . In 2003 and 2004 the club has staged shows at Mote Park Leisure Centre, Maidstone. Anyone skating with the Club is invited to take part regardless of age and ability level. The pantomime stories are told in a series of solo or formation skating routines and the end result is spectacular.

The social side of the Club is considered to be very important and members of all ages have enjoyed theatre trips and meals out. The regular barbeques are very popular events and the scarey Halloween Ghost hunt is eagerly anticipated by all.
