Hi again all,

DISC speed skating club is hosting a mini camp over the weekend of the 12th and 13th of May. They are happy to billet skaters and parent's. This mini camp is to be hosted by them once a term and is designed for our beginner skaters. I will be coaching at the camp. Day one we will have races, games and make new wee friends, and day two we will learn basic skating exercises and have a lot more fun.

If you'd like to no more please let me no and I will put you in touch with Virginia Cathro who is doing all the organising ... See more

Hi all,

A quick up-date on Ethan. I have been speaking with his coach overseas. She is very pleased with his training and believes he could skate a 1.27.00 in a 1000m. This is providing he is on a quick race, not one with a tactical focus at the start. This tends to slow times down. Anyway, my point is that its a very quick time for a skater of his age. Here's hoping we get some quick races for Ethan going forward!!! Watch this space

PS: Ethan De Rose, update us with some photos please. The club is watch, and wanting to know how it is all going! ... See more
