Magnificent Skating

Many Dominion and overseas skaters have given exhibitions on the Tahunanui rink, but general opinion is that never has there been an exhibition to touch that of the four Germans, Karlheinz Losch, Marlies Fahse. Margot Ludolph, and Werner Hoffman (above left), who featured in two performances in Nelson. These world class skaters did amazing things on skates.
