Thanks to Becky for this report from Friday’s charity event, held in aid of John’s Club. Well done to all involved! Ed
The Isle of Wight Ice Dance and Figure Skating club’s fun night on Friday 18th May was a total success.
The fun night was a fun competition for our skaters whilst raising money for John’s Club, a local charity helping children and adults with disabilities.
Raised over £450
A large group from Johns Club came along to watch and they had an amazing time, they were dancing and clapping to the music with great big smiles on their faces. We raised £460 on the door entries and we hope they have made lots more money from their raffle which is being drawn on the 1st June.
We started the night with a group of skaters that performed to Lady Gaga’s `Born this Way’ the routine was choreographed by our Coaches Georgia and Tom and we were honoured to have two of Johns Club who were pushed around on the ice in their wheelchairs who absolutely loved it.
Scores on the doors
All our skaters that took part were winners as they all entered into the spirit of competition.
The winners of each category were: Solo: Lauren Wood, Duo: Maggie Read and Archie Bickell, Group under 4: Under the Sea; Hayley Purrington, Lauren Wood, Ayesha Taylor. Group Over 5: The Wight Fossils; Mandy and Mark Haslam, Carol and Steve Taverner, Martin and Jane Collins, Susan Dell, Janet Button, Alison Wright, Wendy Bluestone and Steve Wood.
