The carnival starts at 8 p,m, in the Arenas (see coming events this issue) By Saturday night the skaters will have had only 26 hours of ice time, but they've been working hard to prepare a program. No time to work up a theme with costumes and scenery, so they decided on a , Pop Concert, to be skated in regular skating dress. However, it should be effective with the girls in various styles of colourful skating dresses. With the help of two senior coaches from Goderich, Debbie Chessel and Karen Pederson and Senior coach Richard Sim- mons, London .and their own senior coach Danielle Simons and coaching training Shirley Brandon, they have put together a very good program in the short time available. Come out and support your skaters, encourage them in their effort. 3M's Party The Feb. meeting of the 3'M s group of St: Andrew's United Church was a social evening with games, dutch auc- tion and box social.
