Emma and Dom sponsored by AJ Hackett Bungy

WHY DID WE WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Emma:

Hi I'm Emma! I've been skating at the rink here in Queenstown for more than 10 yrs but it was only when Deanna started coaching that she convinced me to swap the hockey skates for the figures. Since then I've been addicted! I love to help the Club share the fun with new skaters young and old. Doing the show is always a challenge and I get very nervous but it's definitely worth it, to meet new people and raise money for the club.

Dom:

Hello there my name is Dominic Nicklin I work at AJ Hackett bungy as a jump operator! I really was just thrown into the deep end on this one but looking at it now what a trip! Yes I can stake yes I can dance together not so much!! No hidden talents but just here to have fun and make some entertainment for the people watching!!
