Grace and Speed at Nelson Rink

Five roller skaters of world class standard delighted Nelson enthusiasts when they performed to big crowds at the Tahuna rink. The team, seen in the top picture, was Pat Eason, Britain,(speed), Elisabeth Fiolet, Holland (free-skating), Louis Goyvaerts and Josee Van de Zande, Belgium (solo and pairs), and Leo Eason, Britain (speed). Ail hold national titles. While each one of them showed exceptional talent, it was the displays of Louis and Josee that brought the greatest applause from the crowd. They performed the most intricate patterns with grace and dexterity.
