UHRSC has since concentrated on developing artistic roller skating skills which gives all those involved a chance to compete countrywide and internationally. The club is run by volunteers who offer their services free of charge to the club. Club fees are banked in a club account and used for affiliation fees and various payments the club has to make to keep operating.
