Yes, some ice rinks are leisure facilities but there are many more that have National and International competitors desperate to get back to on-ice training, to be ready to compete in a variety of disciplines later this season.
@BritishIceSkate@OliverDowden@BorisJohnson Hopefully our rinks are open soon. My daughter has been working so hard during lockdown, but there is only so much a skater can do off ice. She’s had her hopes dashed 3 times now. It’s really not fair or just. Not to mention HOW Snowdomes are different to rinks?? #sportnotleisure
Over 5 million people use ice rink facilities in the UK, the activity they engage in is a sport, which significantly supports their physical and mental wellbeing.
@OliverDowden@BorisJohnson we need to get #backontheice
. @BritishIceSkate can you please give some updates and information as to why rinks are not being allowed to open. Why are you not putting pressure on the government? Your competitive and recreational skaters are in dispare. I’M IN DISPARE! 16 skaters on 5000 sq meter surface?
Official show pics of my own ❤️beauty❤️ @meganjayne_yt from @CHCBlackpool Beauty and the Beast. Can’t believe it’s all over. Megs has loved being part of the cast this year. 13 shows, a talented cast of 5-18 yr olds around 19,000 watched, & all proceeds support local charities.⛸
This lovely lady went to see @bbcstrictly in her hometown of Blackpool 3yrs ago at 99. She’s 102 tomorrow & would’ve loved to go again but is in hospital with a broken hip.She would love a visit from any of the cast, especially her fav @kelvin_fletcher@OtiMabuse
