Champs, Corby 24th Oct
This event was the best attended of the UK Champs’
girls contests. In spite of nerves and the tough course the girls put on a good
show. Helena Long skated super consistently and came out on top, Lucy skated
with her usual authority and took second with Lois taking 3rd.

Stage 2: ‘The Phoenix Night Comp’,
Manchester 6th Nov
A real good grass-roots skate event. Excellent turn
out. Fun session, no seriousnessness. Good music. Good vibes. Hilarious (if
somewhat distracting!) MCing from Rob Smith. Great judges. Our Southern
Hemisphere sister Georgina Mathews smashed it taking first. Lois placed 2nd and
Maria skated with pop and style into 3rd position.
Stage 3: ‘Peaches
and Cream’, Aberdeen 20th Nov
It’s all to play for! The rankings are
close close!

contests and lessons, an art exhibition – featuring work from Helen Lovelee,
Sophie Allen, Harriet Sheppard, Dani Gallacher, Jenna Selby etc, and also an art
