Due to the extreme bad weather we had to cancel our Open the day before the event was due to commence. We have unrecoverable costs amounting to nearly £8,000 for expenses including; venue, officials travel paid and accommodation, catering, programmes, trophies, gifts for skaters and officials, equipment and miscellaneous costs. We are hopeful of running another event later this year, but this is proving difficult. Firstly though we need to recover our losses so that we are in able to continue functioning as a Club, and to be in a position to host another Open competition in the future. We hope to raise as much as possible through our fund raising efforts. For every £5 donated to this campaign there will be an entry into a prize draw.
