I just wanted to say what a great time I had at the Gosport Ice Rink Christmas show 2014.

It was lovely to see so many young people involved in the show and the place was packed to capacity.

I kept thinking how lovely it was to see everyone enjoying themselves and I can't help but remember Alan Whitehead’s oh so famous promise that Southampton would have a new ice rink within months of the old one controversially being knocked down.

It would provide a new home to the university ice hockey and figure skating clubs, as well as providing the kids with somewhere to go. Rumour has it a developer is looking at building an ice rink in Eastleigh.

Can Eastleigh upstage Southampton again? They’ve already done it with the Christmas lights, so can they do it with the ice rink...
