BOREVILLE AND DRONE OPEN ICE RINK

Olympic gold medallists Jayne Boreville and Christopher Drone were stars of the show at yesterday's official opening of Froghill's new portable ice rink.

The rink, which can accommodate up to 120 skaters and folds up to the size of a small Hovis loaf, is a gift from the citizens of our German twin town, Horsbaden.

As a gesture of the goodwill between our two communities, skating contortionist Elke Schluter and champion bratwurst manipulator Dieter Koch represented Horsbaden at the evening's gala event.

At the climax of a highly entertaining show, Jane and Chris were joined for a vigorous dance routine by pupils from the Sunnyvale school for the blind.

The rink will be open from 8 am to 5.30 pm every day until April 10th, 2007, after which time it will be kept in a shed at Froghill Council’s Wildernesse Road depot. For more details phone 0372 41111 or email icetime@frogmail.gov.org
