UPPER HUTT OPEN DAY: This competition held at our rink on June 25 and
26 was a great success with skaters coming from Hawera, Manawatu and Nelson
clubs as well as Upper Hutt. A big thanks, to everyone who helped to make this
event such a success. We couldn't run these comps without the volunteers
who clean up before the event, make the certificates, judge, scorer, and
marshal, work in the shop, provide the food for the judges’
lunches, and numerous other jobs. Thank you to all who contributed -
especially those who did not have family members skating. Congratulations to
the raffle winners: -$50 Note: Steve McCallum (Upper Hutt) Skate Bag: Marg
Smillie (Manawatu) Congratulations also to our special award winners Emma
Hazelwood and Nika Thomson. Emma won the Ian MacKie Memorial Plate for the most
artistic performance of a freeskating or creative solo dance programme by an
UHRSC skater decided by a judge who is not an UHRSC member for her Cadet
freeskating programme. Nika won the Scorers Choice Cup selected by a scorer for
exceptional performance by an UHRSC skater.
