The team last competed in February 2009 and then were, unfortunately, forced to take a break when the ice rink in Norwich closed in July 2009. The team got back into training at the beginning of 2010 when the rink reopened under new owners as Planet Ice.
“Ice Candy are excited about their imminent competition at Ice Sheffield on Monday. After training for 8 months with their new coach Diana Entwistle, Ice Candy take on 5 other adult synchronized skating teams in the National Championships. Skating to a Robbie Williams jazz medley, the girls smartly execute a stunning routine”, says Ice Candy team member Caroline Scott.
We certainly wish the team the very best of luck – do us proud Ladies!
Got a local vista you value? Love your landscape? Heart your horizon?
This year, ‘small but perfectly formed coastal art gallery’, Hatfield Hines of Holt are holding an exciting compeition to discover the best loved view of Norfolk. And should you be lucky enough to win, the rather brilliant prize is an original oil painting of the view by Norwich-born artist David Baxter worth around £400.
‘We’re always keen to show visitors new views of Norfolk’ says Gallery owner Clare Hatfield, ‘so – inspired by this year’s Holt Festival – we’re on a quest to find Norfolk’s scenic top ten.’
The survey was kicked-off by a nomination from celebrity chef-patron of the Michelin-starred Morston Hall, Galton Blackiston, who told the Gallery ‘My favourite view is seen on the drive from Langham to Morston. At one point in the journey you get a perfect view from Blakeney Point to the Watch House. On a summer’s evening it’s just fantastic and I love it!’
Everyone who takes part in the summer scenic survey will be entered into a prize draw in September. The lucky winner will receive a specially commissioned oil painting of their own favourite view by popular Norfolk landscape artist David Baxter.
To enter, download a form here and post it back to the gallery, pick up a form at Hatfield Hines Gallery on Fish Hill in Holt, or visit their website and enter online.
The ‘scenic survey’ is running now, with a deadline for the receipt of entries of 15th September 2010.
