“We are so proud of all of our athletes who have prepared and worked hard for the event. For many it was their first experience in front of a crowd and their fabulous attitudes, hard work and effort has paid off. We have an incredibly talented group of individuals and we are so proud of our team” said Coach, Tracy Stevens, “There’s a whole network of people behind the festival of skating and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved. Our judges, coaches, parents and of course the athletes made the event such a lovely, friendly and supportive atmosphere and everyone went home with a medal for taking part. We had some amazing raffle prizes generously donated from local businesses and we appreciate the support from our community so much. We are really pleased to be hosting such events and bringing people to our local area and we look forward to many more in the future.”
