Well done to all the synchronised ice skaters from the Isle of Wight who took part in a national competition in Cardiff last weekend. They came home with one Gold and three Silver medals.
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.
The successful application means that Ryde Arena is now listed as an Asset of Community Value and can't be disposed of without giving community groups a chance to bid for it.
Planning permission for the new indoor sports centre with ice rink, multi-use courts, climbing wall, trampoline area and tennis courts runs out at the end of this year
A member of the Trust said a dispute has been bubbling away for about eight weeks, but no notice was given and there has been no court order or procedure followed.
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.
