As the former ice rink is stripped by contractors, young synchronised skaters hold their off-ice practice outside the building in protest at the "apparent wanton destruction of their lost facility".
Ryde Arena Community Action Group have registered a new company, Wight Ice Leisure Limited, and have said they would like to be treated as a potential bidder for the venue.
Despite having no home rink for the last 16 months, the Isle of Wight ice skating teams have ended the season with personal bests and even brought home some medals. Well done to you all.
Many congratulations are in order for the fantastic Isle of Wight synchronised ice skating teams who came home from the championships with Gold and Silver medals.
Great event for young and old, see the Ice Dance and Figures Skaters perform to raise money for John's Club, a very worthy cause this Friday between 5-7pm.
Members of the Ryde Arena Community Action Group are delighted and overwhelmed by the support of the Isle of Wight council, following last week's motion at full council.
