But with a little more parental support, theclub could reach its potential of producing some quality skaters, says instructor Faye MacDonald. "There's the potential for really good skaters in Seaforth; you can pick out the kids with talent at ages seven and eight. And, if you're good, there's no limit to what you•can do," she Says. Of the approximately 90 figure skaters in Seafortb, most are participating for fun. A few are more serious.' but everyone can benefit from the sport, says Mrs. Mac- Donald. "There's so much to be gained from it since it • combines the athletic and the artistic. But, all kids are different with each receiving a different amount of lessons so you can't compare theta. , A shy child can learn so much by just competing." Because figure skating is,att� individual sport. skaters in . a club easily become envious of each : other's Skills. Mrs, MacDonald says the best wayto deal with theenvy is to compete with; yourself. ' "Look at what you did last year and try to improve yourself," she says. One of the best club spirit builders is the, inter -club competition on March 4 which involves clubs such as Brussels, Stratford, Milverton, and Wingham,,The competition starts at 8 a.m. and sometimes ends at midnight. During the exhausting day, the dubsits together and cheers each other on, t gives the skaters a chance to see what they can do but not at a level where the competition is too fierce. Last year,, the junior .dance team won. We should have another good team this year." she says.

"The more they're on the ice, the better skaters they'll be," says Mrs. MacDonald."
