Hi Kiwi,

Lets see your people skills on this one Johnny.

Bill

Yes unfortunately, every country has cheats, even Holland, the USA & Colombia, so take your pick, who you are aligned with, as you are just another, be it abeit that still not found Guilty as yet & Bullet will unfortunately have probably come to the end of his sporting career, before all the Mumbo Jumbo legal ramifications of this case are sorted out, But then again a worst case scenario for you & your family, as your Children do love uou, is that you could end up in the Dounut Hotel & be faced with Johnnys best wishes.

Hi Roli.

Kalon Dobbin has not retired, he was unfortunately suffering from an injury, that had not cleared up as quickly as it should have, but Like Nicole Begg, who is still not permitted to race, due to blood thinning to prevent Thombouses, there first appearances care likely to be the World Games, 17th, 18th & 19th July in Kaohsiung Taiwan.

Peter Micheal is back in New Zealand training, due to lack of team options, the former 3 times World Junior Champion won all the N.Z. Senior national titles, he chose to go for & its hoped the lack of top of the three training partners & the cold Palmerston North Winter, does not effect his form for Worlds.

It is a worry for N.Z. this year, as to collect Government Funding, we have to secure so many senior medals, with Shane Dobbin out of the team, due to Ice contract committements, DJ Nation struggled to regain good Technical form after comming back from the Ice & the Injuries to there two Stars Nicole & Kalon, who usually ensure the medals are delivered, it is a concern.

Ben Alchin not wanted by the selectors & with the fastest ever Le Mans Official lap time, its time they became a bit more flexible, as the cupboard is becomming very bare & Alchin a former Junior World Medalist, is one of N.Z. Strong Men.

Hi All,

Nicole Begg returns to her Home Town of Timaru, on a high note after a serious early season injury that threatened to cut short her season. she will arrive back on the 3rd October, Wayne Begg is likely to arrive back within 2 weeks after winning the Hong Kong AIC event.

2 World Games Bronze medals & a 5th plus crash in the 500 sprint semi final & 7th, was her first racing in 3 months after her torn Ligaments, then 3 bronze medals, 2 - 4ths, & a 5th in her chosen distances, plus a 12th in the 500 meters road, gave her both the road & Track Overall World titles, the last 4 years as a senior she has won 2 overall road & 3 overall track world Titles, plus a 2nd & a third, but this year is the first year Nicole has won the double, both track & Road overall.

On 1st October she won the Hong Kong AIC event, after Earlier winning the Malaysian event, Nicole will return to N.Z. & compete in the Road skating national championships.

It will be interesting to see the developement of the new skaters that Nicole & Cheryl got underway, with a big Increase in numbers & the learn to skate program, with Mark Lowen & new members working hard with the learners & Heather Van den Heyden coaching the Speedskaters, who have all improved & the first couple are now reaching the Oceania age Category, as the Timaru based South Canterbury Roller skating Club work to develope Future International stars.

With a specialty wheels sport Skating shop in Timaru & sevicing N.Z. plus 200 sets of new Inline hire skates comming into the district, an increase in Skating will be able to be catered for.

Hi Skaters,

Timaru has applied to hold the New Zealand road marathon Champs at the levels car raceway & will commence early evening on the 23rd January, after the big car race meet, it will double as the first AIC race of 2010, so with both Indoor track & Road nationals in the first week of January in Palmerston North & the Bank track champs in Hastings first week in February, the South Island for the marathon, should be a formality to be approved.

Also there will be Coaching Courses on the 23rd & 24th, with Skating Coaching clinic on the 25th, then 26th to 30th the "TOUR OF TIMARU " this once famous race to be revived, with races in the evening, apart from the final day on the 30th in conjunction with the Wiamate sports carnival events, racing is likely to start around 10 am.

For the skaters a rest day Sunday the 24th after Marathon & Coaching Clinic the 25th, & rest day Friday the 29th, to allow some R & R, plus sight seeing for the visiting International & New Zealand Skaters.

Its the warmest time of the year, usually around the mid to high 20s & low 30's with the beatified Caroline Bay, only 100 meters from the Bank track, a great Holiday & competition for all, with Billet accomodation for those from afar available if needed to save costs.

The Tour of Timaru / South Canterbury, is graded racing, A , B, C & D. the very top women will be in the A grade with the men & not so top men, could be in B Grade, to provide even fields & great racing for all.
