Skating
Great Times
By Bryan Harman
Hi,
My name is Bryan Harman and I was in Skaterscades in 1950 when an idea from Jocelyn and Frank Martin really took off. The club members were so eager we couldn't wait to get started, and when we did, what a GREAT time we all had. I believe that when we had finished our evening training, we all walked to Vatessi's for a drink and chat.I am now 79 and I still think I could skate, but my friends say I would break something.
Anyway, I met my late wife at the rink. She was Rita Chapman who sadly passed away in 1994. But with memories of the show, the friends, and photos, I can still recall all the pleasures that I got out of it.
If you get the photo's, the long one has me on the LEFT holding out my skirt. Rita is kneeling down 4th from the RIGHT.
Next - Rita dancing with her partner second from the LEFT.
Next - Rita on extreme Right with two friends,
Next - A photo of us in normal clothes . I am in the middle with two black stripes on my jumper.
I hope this brings back happy time to all
Regards
Bryan Harman
