Held at the Magnum Leisure Centre, 7th and 8th March 2009
The Magnum Figure Skating Open competition was held at the rink on the weekend of the 7th and 8th March 2009 with a record entry this year of over 240 skaters. The event was sponsored this year by Spirit Aerosystems and the skating as usual was very competitive. The Magnum club itself had a bit of a mixed bag this year but there were some notable performances and in particular our trophy winners Gabrielle B who won the Beginners Ladies 9 & 10 competition. Lewis G won the Men's Level 5 and Brendan Dorrian won the Men's Level 10 competitions.
The event itself ran very smoothly as is the norm and thanks for that go to the Referee, Judges, Competition Secretary, the committee, helpers and parents.
The club would also like to give a special thank you to our main sponsors Spirit Aerosystems, our trophy sponsor Booth Welsh Automation and also to North Ayrshire Sports Council for their continued support. Thanks also go to our other sponsors who support the event every year.
Finally thanks to all the skaters who competed at this years event and for making it a memorable Magnum Open. See you all next year. Full results can be viewed on the MIDFSC web site.
