A big thank you to British Airways, which came to the rescue when the Island’s synchronized skating teams were stranded in Basel, Switzerland, following the cancellation of their EasyJet flight home on Sunday. The teams arrived back on the Island last night, a day later than intended.
Thank you too to EasyJet, which provided four-star overnight hotel accommodation, dinner and breakfast, and thus prevented everyone spending an uncomfortable night in an airport.
The teams did well at the competition in Huttwil, with the Wight Crystals coming first of five teams in the juveniles category with a score of 32.55. The Wight Jewels scored a personal best of 85.26 in the juniors category but came third of the three remaining competing teams (Hungary and France having withdrawn, leaving Switzerland and Italy). The Jewels’ scores continue to improve – they scored 75.31 at the Scottish championships, SK8 Scotland, in October 2009.

The two IW synchronized skating teams competing in Huttwil, Switzerland, this weekend left the snowy Island last night on the midnight boat from Fishbourne. They arrived at Gatwick airport in good time this morning. Their flight was delayed but has just landed at Basle airport, so the teams should arrive at Huttwil just in time for this afternoon’s practice.

Planet Ice’s Christmas show this year is the Wizard of Oz, which takes place on Saturday 12 December and Sunday 13 December, and features young skaters from the Isle of Wight.
There are two performances on the Saturday. Doors open at 2pm for the show starting at 3pm, and doors open at 5:30pm for the show starting at 6:30pm. There is just one show on the Sunday, with doors opening at 2pm for the show starting at 3pm. Tickets are £6.50 (adult), £4.00 (child) and £17.00 (family of four).
For tickets and information, contact Planet Ice on 01983 615155.
Additionally this year there is a special fund raising gala for the synchronized skating teams on Wednesday 30 December. Two teams from the Isle of Wight are competing internationally in Switzerland in January 2010. The Swiss event is particularly important for the Wight Jewels, who are trying to obtain the necessary qualification scores that will enable them to represent Great Britain at the Junior World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, in March. More details about this gala will be available shortly. As the synchro teams are not performing in the Wizard of Oz, the gala will be the only chance to see them in action before the Swiss competition. Please give this event and the teams every possible support.
