Busy Times (Posted: 5:50 GMT, Saturday, 3 April 2010)

Saturday 3rd April was a particularly busy coaching morning at Morley; I counted 5 coaches on the floor, even with Luke Kelly (a regular) away. With the addition of skaters there for the open training opportunity, it was about a busy a Saturday as has been seen of late.

I was probably the kick-on effect of Skate International's closure, but that's something we might have to get used to; Morley is a lot closer than Midvale for many skaters.

The main point of this note is to remind skaters, not only of their "give way" obligations (particularly those not under coaching at the time) but also of the need even for those with formal "right of way" to apply some courtesy too. We have many new skaters who might not yet be keeping the watch out that they should.
