ALh 4000 SPORTS By Ross flaysoh Support the skaters The annual carnival of the Exeter Figure Skating Club will be presented Saturday night of this week and officials have planned a pleasing evening of en ter tainment. This year's presentation is entitled "Music From the Movies" and promises to be colorful and exciting, For the first time in many years the carnival is being held later in the year and it is hoped the weatherman will co-operate with much warmer weather than in recent years, All of the 125 members of the local figure skating club will see action in at least one number. The youngest participants are three years of age. A variety of animals will be portrayed by the local youngsters in colorful costumes. There will be Davey Crockett's, chipmunks, mice, ducks and elephants to name just a few. The feature attraction of the evening will be the appearance of Cheri and Dennis Pinner of the St, Thomas Skating Club* This brother and sister combination were crowned novice pairs champions at the recent Western Ontario sectional championships. Cheri was also crowned champion over 40 other skaters in the ladies juvenile division. The Pinners have been skating since they were five years of age. To make Saturday's carnival a reality and a success a lot of hard work behind the scenes is necessary. Preparation of the program began several months ago and has involved all members of the local figure skating club executive which is headed by president Barb Dougherty. The local club's professional instructress, Mrs. Faye McDonald is mainly responsible for the show. In her tenth season at the helm of the local club, Mrs. McDonald selects the numbers to be presented and handles all the choreography along with the musical renditions, of which most are taped from district church services. The most hectic day for the executive is Saturday when the arena must be decorated and the ice surface painted for the upcoming show. Any volunteers with an hour or two of time to spare Saturday afternoon will be more than welcome at the arena. While Saturday will be hectic, Monday afternoon was a busy time at the arena when costumes are fitted and sometimes some juggling is necessary to get the proper fit. Most of the costumes that will be worn Saturday night are rented from other figure skating clubs in Western Ontario. The local club pays anywhere from a dollar and a half to four dollars for the outfits. In turn each skater pays a rental fee of two dollars for his or her costume, In addition to boys and girls from Exeter, youngsters from Dashwood, Hensall, Crediton and the surrounding townships are taking regular lessons at the local club and will be appearing in Saturday's carnival. While the skating members of the club pay a goodly sum of money in registrations, success of the club's year depends a great deal on the support received frcim the general public at the annual carnival. The abilities of the young skaters have been improving each year and we are sure anyone attending Saturday's show that gets underway at eight o'clock will be assured of a good night's entertainment. Incidentally, for the first time the show will be divided into two sections with the junior skaters appearing in the first hour of the program and the older club members showing their talents in the last hour. Another Carnival While on the subject of skating carnivals, the Huron Park Figure skating club will present their first annual show, Tuesday night of next week at seven o'clock at the Huron Park arena. The youthful Huron Park skaters will be seen in numerous colorful costumes as they present "Variety on Ice." Mrs. Don Pearson is president of the Huron Park club and Mrs. Edith Bell of Hensall is the instructress. I OKA Intermediate '8' SEMI-FINAL Friday, March 20 8:30 P.M.
