WHY DID WE WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Felicia:

As a child I always wanted to be a figure skater but I never had the chance to get my hands on lessons or being part of a skate club. 4 years ago I wandered into the Queenstown Ice Arena by chance and remembered my childhood dream. I haven’t stopped skating since. Taking part in the fundraiser Stars on Ice to help the kids with their skating dream is a no-brainer for me.

Scott:

I am a teacher at Queenstown Primary School. During a parent interview I was convinced that learning to figure skate would be a rewarding and fun experience (I have not been disappointed!). I stumbled onto the ice with very little experience and have enjoyed the challenge and opportunity to learn something new
