FOURTEEN skaters from Stalham Artistic Roller Skating Club skated towards various Federation of Artistic Roller Skating awards.
The skaters, who are trained by coaches Martin and Kerry-Asta Pickering and aged from eight through to adults, were closely watched by FARS judges Ron and Mollie Caton who marked them on basic skating ability, dance and free skating.
A surprise visit was made by former FARS British champion and friend of the club, Corrina Haylett.

As well as the dance and free grades tests, three skaters took tests for dance medals. These tests are taken after all the grade tests have been completed and allow the skater to progress further in competitions. This is when the going starts to get extremely tough.
Sarah Ford: Elementary and Preliminary; Shannon Hudson: Inter-Bronze and Bronze; Sarah Mockford: Elementary.
