Jordan Captains England - Every
year England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each put a team together
of skaters from Levels 7 through to 10 to compete for the NISA CUP. Jordan qualified
to skate for England at the Telford Open in March this year. Doing the NISA
Cup, skating for England and being made captain was a great achievement and
well deserved.
Last year Jordan was also a member of the team when it took place at Lee Valley,
London and England won. This year the NISA CUP took place in Aberdeen, Scotland.
It was a brilliant event with Scotland winning the competition and England coming
second. It was well supported from every country, everyone was very friendly
and there was lots of high team spirits, flag waving and cheering unlike any
other skating competition! WELL DONE JORDAN.
The
Rooster Cup, Paris - Over
the May Day Bank Holiday Bella, Carmen and Vicky competed in the Rooster Cup
competition in Paris. They were among half a dozen British competitors who competed
with skaters from 15 different countries across Europe. Although all three would
admit that they have skated better, they all did very well and a very enjoyable
weekend was had by all. It was a good eye-opener, making all of us realise what
needed to be done to reach European standards and we achieved a better understanding
of the International Judging System (IJS).
It was Vicky’s first IJS – she was very happy to get through her
short programme without any falls and was doing very well in her long programme
until her penultimate jump which she didn’t quite make causing her to
forgot her routine! There was a look of sheer panic on her face for a second
or two before she managed to skate round, execute her last couple of elements
before finishing on time! With a very respectable 61.81 points she finished
13th in the Novice A competition.
This was Carmen’s 2nd international. She skated her short programme very
well with confidence except for a bit of a wobble on her double loop, double
loop. Nerves got the better of her for her long programme and so she didn’t
skate as well as predicted, however still managed a personal best of 65.82 points
putting her 17th in the Novice B competition.
Bella has had a long season of performing her two programmes. On the warm up
for the short she hit the barrier and fell cutting her hand, then being first
to skate after the warm-up she had to skate with her hand bleeding. This put
her off a little and she didn’t skate her best. The long programme was
much better pulling her up two places to finish in 7th position out of 26 with
78.19 points in the Novice B competition.

Dec 2009 Club Accreditation - SIFC has recently joined the Swindon Sports Forum and has been accredited at level 1. This is fantastic news as it now means that we can apply for grants to help with club development, increase community participation and to develop individual skaters. We will keep you up-to-date with our grant applications as things develop over the next few months. Many thanks go to our chair, Kathy Porter, who has spent many hours gathering the evidence to help us achieve the level 1 accreditation.
