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.
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.
A lot has happened in the last year, but the Ryde Community Action Group have not given up and continue to fight to bring back Ryde Arena for the Isle of Wight community of ice skaters, ice hockey players and more.
Despite the wind and rain, around 300 people gathered at Ryde Arena today to protest about its closure some two years after AEW closed the doors on its use.
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.
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.
Not only is it very time consuming when these award-winning ice dance and figure skaters leave the Island to train, but it can become very expensive. Your vote could help them win much-needed financial support.
The Community Action Group fighting to save the ice rink at Ryde Arena wants as many people as possible to join their 'Link Around the Rink' event on Saturday 6th October.
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".
