Huge congratulations to 14 year old Grace Boland who was only notified last week that due to her national ranking she had been invited to compete in the British Championships at Advance Novice Level on Tuesday.  Despite the very short preparation time and without her coach of nine years Grace skated her short programme on Tuesday and gave a lovely performance.  It was an experience she will never forget and was extremely proud to represent Bracknell and to follow in the footsteps of the select number ‘home grown’ free skaters Loretta Sartorio, Stacey Bullock, Sarah Johnson and Simon Waller who have represented the club in free skating at previous British Championships.  Grace would like to say a big thank you to Emma, without whom she would not have been there.

The club is immensely proud of Grace and delighted that this hard earned achievement has become one of highlights of the club’s 25th anniversary.

Well done Grace!

Competing TODAY at the British Championships are Emily Phillips and Jayin Panesar who have qualified in the new Basic Novice Level category introduced this year.  At ten years old talented Emily and Jayin are the youngest competitors in this year’s championships at 10 years of age and we wish the very best of luck.  Go Bracknell!
