I loved the ice skating too Carol, was never any good at it though, but loved going over to Luna Park, you remember they used to make a real long line like a congo line, then start skating really fast, I remember Ron Moore trying to grab my hand as he went flying past, I actually made myself hit the deck lol lol what a bl--dy scaredy I was lol lol xx

I still have an injury from our foray into Iceskating at St Kilda, they had me on the end of the line, they called in a Whip, they were going real fast then when you have heaps of speed up they let go of you, well I went about 100 miles an hour accross the ice and went slamming into the steel wall that went around the outside of the rink, it got me in the right knee, and to this day I cant kneel down properly, and it is like hitting your funny bone if you touch it in a certain spot, I wish I knew who do sue (sic) lol

I'm bringing a ghetto blaster to the reunion with all those old songs. I recently got the soundtrack of Heartbeat, and it has all the old fossils, it's a gem. If anyone has any requests, I'll see what I can bring.

I fondly remember the ice skating trips and was telling Judith about them last week. Did anyone else buy ice-skates off Mr. McLean? They had smoke and water damage, but were still good. I had mine for years till I allowed a so called friend to take them with him when he was going skating. He was getting them shapened for me. I never saw him again and I later heard from his cousin that he had given them to his girlfriend.

There is an ice rink in Clayton I believe.
