Port Perry Figure Skating Club be As the Port Perry Figure Skating Club begins its 20th season, the popularity. of this winter sport seems to be on the increase. This year the Club has close to 160 members, 45 of them in the Senior class. members have ice time at the New Scugog Arena on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and expert in- struction is again available from professionals Rick and Barb Stephens. Anyone who is familiar with figure skating at the national or international level knows. that it is one of the most competitive of all sports. Club president Irma Lewis says that while the Port Perry Club is designed basically to provide recrea- tion for young people, any member who wants to com- pete is encouraged-to do so. . - On November 25-26 Linda Piho will be going to the Sub-sectionals in Belleville, Ontario, and Lynn Spagnola will be competing in the Sectionals December 9-10 at Trenton. If successful they will have the opportunity to compete at the national level against the best skaters from across Canada. Over the years' skaters who got their start in Port Perry went on to compete at the international level. -A decade ago, Rick Stevens and Anna Forder represent- ed Canada at the, Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. David Porter teamed with Barbara Berezowski of Toronto, last year in international com- petition dance event. Although most of the club members at the senior level are female, there are sev- eral young boys taking part. Figure skating at a young age is a great way to learn EEA Figure skating demands a lot of hard work. This young member of the club is practising turns. the proper techniques of basic skating skills, and young boys find this advan- tageous if they decide to join the minor hockey ranks. Club members are divid- ed into two groups, junior and senior, based not on age, but on skating ability. The junior members work their way through ten diff- erent proficiency badges set by the Canadian Figure Skating Association, with the degree of difficulty in- creasing. Senior skaters work towards earning badges 11 through 14. Indi- vidual testing is carried out by the instructors once a month. In February next year, Port Perry will host a day- long Inter Club competition with skaters from 10 clubs taking part. It is expected that more than 150 competi- tors will take part in the various divisions. It costs $40 for a junior member of the club and this provides four hours of skat- ing time and one group lesson from the teaching professionals each week. For seniors the cost is $60. with one free style and one dance lesson each week. For those who want them, private lessons and extra ice time are available to senior members at their ex- pense. Instructor Barb Stephens is a gold medalist in both dance and figures, the highest achievement level set by the Canadian Figure Skating Association. It is never too early to start figure skating and some of the very young members are on the ice almost before they can walk. It is a good way to get some exercise and re- creation, and it's a great way, of course, to learn how to skate properly.
