That definitely sounds interesting.

Do you have to have passed any of the NISA tests to join or is it open to any levels?

Hmmm, I wonder if I can get it as a birthday pressie? Any camp with Jimmy Young gets my vote, 100%!!!!

Although I don't, alas, think it will be possible, as we'll have just had almost 3 weeks' holiday, two competitions and a skating camp during the previous 3 weeks. But it would be nice....

The camp is open to all levels and abilities.

It is a fantastic opportunity to train with two world class coaches!

For those of you who haven't been to Sheffield before, check out the icesheffield.com website to see the rink but also remember it is only 10 minutes from the Peak District. We have great theatres, the most superb country house (Chatsworth), well worth going to see and delightful walks around the Peaks - plus don't forget Meadowhall (also known to the mothers of teenage daughters as Meadowhell) as well as the shopping in Sheffield. The people are friendly, the rink is warm! All essential points.

Ohhh this is interesting Nice & close to home too! Take an overnight ferry and the train from there. But mom'll psyche out if I say I wanna go to England by myself!
Maybe my BF wants to accompany or something.

First, what is "Saffbags?" Is it Saffy (your famous horse) or is it a luggage store? LOL

Second, my old John Wilson Gold Seal blades were from Sheffield...my big brother was in London on business and he bought them for me as a birthday present.

You just gave me an idea.....
My birthday is June 1. Always have trouble deciding what I want. I think I'll just give my husband a flyer.... khe-khe.

If I manage to get away from my rink - count me in!

Sadly, much though I'd really love to come, it's not going to work out - we're only just back from three weeks' holiday, including two competitions and one camp, and then there will be another competition (I hope!) towards the end of June....

Can we have another one in the adult off-season??? Please????

BTW if you decide going you can stay with me and my husband.
I leave about 1-1.5 hours from Sheffield.

Oh, how I wish I were going! Sadly, we'd already booked our holiday before you announced it, and we can't really afford to do both, either in terms of money or time. Another year, we will come straight home from the Mountain Cup and then come to the camp.

I do hope it's a success and can be repeated next year.
