>The teams gave the impression of not yet having their programmes all
>together but there was some very strong skating from the top group. The
>Haydenettes Short Program was innovative and just plain superbly
>beautiful. My only quibble was that, for a short program, it lacked the
>driving speed that is expected in this more athletic portion of the
>competition.
>
>The organisers went out of there way to make everyone feel
>welcome. For example, they checked the entry lists to get any birthdays
>occuring during the event. The twins on our team were among those
>presented with a bunch of flowers on their birthday by the President of
>the local Club organising the event.
>
>I also judged at the preceding competition in Finland. Is anyone
>interested in the results?
