Artistic Skating News
Several of our skaters have recently taken part in this year's British Championships.
The Espoir Championships took place in Beaumont Leys in Leicester. Krystyna Wale was our only skater and she came 4th out of 21 skaters, narrowly missing 3rd place which would have automatically put her in the squad to go to the Cup of Europe in Italy. However, she is a reserve should anyone drop out.
The Cadet Championships took place at Mote Park, Maidstone. Bethany Wale was our only skater in this class. Again there were 21 skaters competing and Bethany came 11th. This was her first attempt at the Cadet class and she skated extremely well
The Classic Competition also took place at Mote Park and we had one skater entered - Debbie Foreman. She excelled herself and came 2nd.
The Junior and Senior championships take place at Haywards Heath in July. Laura Minter and Debbie Foreman will be competing so good luck to both of you.
