Be gentle with me. After all, I am a 44 year old asthmatic......

Can laughing at someone A LOT (read me ) who keeps falling over, trigger an asthma attack? Maybe I should save myself the embarrasment

Anyone that brings their own skates must have some degree of skill otherwise they would not have invested in a pair of skates. I on the otherhand an sh*t*. I am currently injured. If skating is this week, I will most likely not to be skating. Do spectators only still have to pay?

Man on the door, sometimes.

I dont think its much to spectate (if at all).... It'd be best to tell them you are going in the skate shop (skate shop is in the rink itself.) - open till 9pm.

i could come and watch this week but i won't be skating

Hmmm maybe we should wait a we for Si to be fit to skate. At least I won't be the only one who can't skate then!

That would be cool. But not necessary. The main reason for my attendance is for little Meg to give it a go. I am interested to know if her roller skating skills will help her on the ice. I would be more than happy taking the pee out of everyone else.

Well if you are spectating you would not need to hire skates...............

If you are spectating and own your own skates however, not sure how they would police that. Perhaps they embed a small nano-chip in your brain that send a signal to their central skynet computer and vapourises your undergarments if you go on the ice.

Or, maybe not.

I started ice skating at about 6 years old. Every summer the ice rink turned into a roller rink. Could not roller skate to save myself. Ice skating is much more fun and much easier. If Meg can roller skate she will find ice skating a dawdle. Me and Bex can take her round the ring a few times if you dont want to go on the ice - ya big wuss

My knee is considerably better than it was although still very painful. I may just make it.

Has a confirmed date been agreed yet?
