With the cold weather and snow that we have had, BISC could have had its ice-skating in house on Friday 22 January 2010!
The evening began with a meal at BISC that was excellent. The vegetarian dish (pasta with pesto, mushrooms, peppers and feta) was out of this world and the meet option (beef mince with lots of extra goodies on pasta) was perfect. Afterwards we all trekked down to the Bristol Ice Rink where our varying displays of the art of ice-skating were performed.
I did not notice any broken bones or dislocated joints after the ice-skating event, and I assume that we all had an enjoyable and safe time. Certainly the reports were that all had such a marvellous time, they want to organise another Ice Skating evening as soon as possible. Speak to Jo Bain about this if you are interested. We want to thank the Bristol University CU in particular for being so helpful in teaching all those more uncertain skaters a few tricks of the trade.
The ice rink in Bristol has been there for over forty years. Dr Chill, as a teenager, use to take his girlfriend ice-skating there. Later as a teacher in a Bristol secondary school he took students ice-skating on Thursday afternoons.
Well I trust that you had a jolly evening and unwound after a busy week with your studies. I look forward to seeing you again at BISC for our famous Cream Teas and Lunches or on another BISC trip.
Regards
Dr Chill
