I AM really pleased that Bournemouth council has decided to give us back our ice rink for the summer.

I am sure it will prove to be as successful as the winter rink was. Lots of holiday makers that we talked to at last summer’s rink were very happy to see an ice rink in Bournemouth.

I wonder if the powers that be, could now arrange for some of our professional skaters that live locally to be available for skating lessons. We need to encourage this rapidly growing fun activity and perhaps we can repeat our previous history of having champion ice skaters back in Bournemouth.

I look forward to July 17 when we can once again enjoy this wonderful family activity.
