What a first day at the British Champs. I am always blown away by what a great crowd of people turn up to compete and to support. I love our international contingent who all get in the spirit and help to make it such a fab day - too many to name. The racing was great too with some very big PRs, but skate of the day - Gemma Cooper's 5km: 8min 13sec, taking 1.5 MINUTES off the British Record - an outstanding effort. Highlight of the day - our new group of PeeWee skaters, having fun, skating fast and smiling lots!

For those who like statistics: We (GBR) had 50 active skaters this season (skaters who did at least one race). This puts us as the 20th biggest skating nation out of the 45 countries active this season. It also puts us as the third largest skating nation without a 400m rink, only 14 skaters behind the biggest. The smallest of those with a rink has 140 skaters. Something to think about. (Denmark had 21 and Belgium 34 this season, with Australia at 11, Spain at 13, Ireland 1)
