Huron Expositor, 2007-11-07, Page 28Beginners make up nearly half of figure skaters With 10 more skaters than last year, close to half of the 63 skatersin this year's Seaforth Figure Skating Club are begin- ners. "We're really pleased with the increase in atten- dance this year since we lost a few to high school and university," says the club's treasurer Ronda Evans. While there will be no skating carnival this year, the club plans to enter at least three competitions including the Lyle McPhedran Memorial Invitational in Woodstock Feb. 1-3, the Pat Abela Memorial in Tilbury Feb. 22-24 and the Futures competition in Exeter March 1 and 2. Since only skaters at Level 4 and over can com- pete, Evans says it'stkely up to seven skaters -from the Seaforth club ,will enter the competitions. "We have 10-15 skaters at that level but not all of them want to compete," she says. The Seaforth club will also be entering a. float in the Seaforth Santa Claus parade for the first time in many years.
