Monday 20th and Tuesday 22nd May saw the 2024 British Novice Championships take place at ice Sheffield.
67 young athletes, who had worked hard to achieve qualifying scores earlier in the season, took to the ice to compete across Basic Novice and Intermediate Novice categories. The two days were filled with fantastic performances, valuable competitive experience for these up and coming skaters, and chances for athletes, coaches, officials and fans to meet and enjoy all things ice skating.
Congratulations to each and every skater for all the hard work it took to reach this point - we can't wait to see what you achieve next! And a big thank you to every coach, supporter, official and volunteer who helped make the 2024 Novice Championships a success.
