Island Roller Skating Titles
Ten national speed records were lowered when the South Island roller skating championships were held at Nelson last month. Four of these were shared by two Nelson skaters, Judy Williamson (intermediate) and Adrian Douglas (senior) and Colin, Michael and Jim Harvey, Picton, each broke one also. Sixty-one skaters, from Nelson, Picton, Christchurch and Otematata, competed.
