Dear BISC Members
The BISC Annual Gala will take place on
Friday September 27th . The Gala will feature a number of solo,
couple or small group slots, synchro, Ice Ability, NTC show number, and a
big opening number all BISC members can join in. The Gala is free
to enter and attend and the upstairs seating around the rink will be open for
viewing. If you know of groups, clubs, schools who would be interested in
attending please email

The aim of the Gala is to exhibit our
members’ achievements and successes and to create a lineup spanning all ages,
disciplines and demonstrating a range of skating abilities. Skaters allocated
solo/couple slots will have their photo and a short biography in the event
program and are also able to invite a guest (plus 1) to attend in the VIP area.
This guest may be a head teacher, teacher, or other sports coach etc.

This year the soloists will be invited
to participate based on the criteria below.
Selection Criteria for Solo slots
All skaters must be BISC members in
order to take part in the Gala. Skaters of British Ice Skating level one and
above must be current members of British Ice Skating to perform in the gala in
order to protect their eligibility. With the exception of any guest
exhibitions, solo slots will be allocated to BISC members who have represented
Bracknell at an open competition, British Ice Skating event, or the NTC between

Allocations will take into account the
