Time ran out before the• testing was completed, so further tests, will be con- ducted in January. Congratulations to all who passed. • It may be noted from the above results that it is possible for a young child to pass one or two tests in a 1/2 year. One Hour a week is not sufficient practice, however. It can only be done if a parent persists in taking his child to skate for all possible skating ice time. In the Clinton arena, those times are: Tuesday 3.30 - 5 p.m., Wednesday 2 - 4 p.m., and Sundays 1 - 2p.m. for small tots, 2 - 4p.m. older children and adults. A. secretary, Carol Fox often says, "Children onlly learn to skate by skating. The more time put into it the better they get." This Saturday January 7, we start afresh with a "reshuffled deck" as it were. With so many passing tests the groups will lose some members to a higher group and welcome new ones. We ho a you like your new coach an that she likes you bec use your're such a good wor r. Be inners, did you forget to re- ' gister for the second session? You still may do so this Saturday January 7. New members may register then too and begin skating 11-12. noon. The club is delighted to wecome back a former in- termediate skater, Anne Levis. Welcome back to the fold, Ann. Saturday, December 31 marked the last day of the first learn -to -skate session of the '77-'78 season: It was a busy day with the seniors and intermediates concentrating even harder on dances they will be trying January 8 at Vanastra, while the begin- ners and juniors tried tests for their N.S.T. badges. Mr. Gordon and Miss Jeffries, club professionals, acted as the judges. When you're three or four, you work hard just staying erect and manoeuver around on the ice in one's own fashion. It takes time to strengthen the ankles and to syncronize the messages from the head to the feet. Parents shouldn't expect any great advancement towards earning a badge during these years. A few five year-olds passed their beginner badge this past 1/2 season. Two of the most recent passes were Krista Rothwell and Jason Wilson. -Other six and seven year-olds who . passed their beginners badge were Lori Le Beau, Craig Lockhart, Jeffrey Postm.., and Lori Forbes. Several young skaters, including a young five-year- old member, passed their stroking badge; Dawn Powell -five years, Steven Caldwell, Brian Buffinga, Jodi Mustard, 'Bonita Haak, Nancy Broadfoot, Joanne Duddy. None were ready to try the elementary test.
