It is the executive and members of the Ludknow Skating Club, who each Monday and Thursday take over the ice for N a couple of hours each day to pur- sue their interests in figure skat-. This group of roughly 94 yoUng people, from 2 yearS'of age through to about 16, represent, in number about 6 hockey teams, but few in the community realize the amount of public participation. `there is in the group. The club is several years old and some of 'its, senior skaters have progressed to a point where the parents and club executive can look on their progress with a good deal of satisfaction for the hours spert in organization and training. The annual achievement night for the , club was held on Saturday and i goodcrowd of parents and friends were on hand to' give the youngsters the encouragement and recognition they deserve. The LucknoW Skating Club has given a' very large group of young people some very worthwhile train ing and recreation over the wint- er season. They deserve more support, both morally and finan- cially, in the promotion of rec- reation in this area.
