Only my third open competition, and my first time to the Guildford Ice Rink which is part of a very impressive sports complex. Held on 9th July 2009 at a very reasonable time, 10am.

The Competition was held at Bracknell’s Ice Rink on 27th April 2009. My event started at 7:05am so it was an early start for the 1.5/2 hour drive to the rink.
The competition was well organised and I enjoyed the day, especially as I won the Pre-Bronze category. Read more
