The following is being distributed at the request of Sport Newfoundland and Labrador:

The 1996 Avalon Regional Figure Skating Championships will be skated Saturday and Sunday, January 20 and 21, at the Southern Shore arena in Witless Bay. Southern Breakers Figure Skating Club is host to this event for the first time in their short seven year existence.

For the first time figures will not be skated at this Avalon run- off. Figures weren't in evidence at either the eastern, central, western or Labrador regional run-offs over the past two weekends.

One hundred and sixty-two skaters will be on the ice from nine to six on Saturday and from nine to four on Sunday. Competitors are from St. John's, Mount Pearl, Conception Bay South, Bell Island, Prince of Wales, St. Pierre and the host club, the seven clubs which form the Avalon region.

There are 175 entries competing in 19 events comprising ladies and mens, singles and dance. There are four mens events, three dance events and 12 ladies events.

Twenty-four St. Pierre skaters are entered in eight events and for the first time the contingent will include a male skater.

Chief referee for the event is Tina Furlong who along with her eight judges will form the judging panels for all events.

Chief accountant for the competition is Barbara Barclay who along with eight accounting staff will be responsible for the compilation of the judges marks and determination of the placings.

Clubs will compete for the Avalon region trophies for most total points and most improved club and the Mini Balisch Trophy for the most artistic performance.

The top three skaters in each of the 19 events will represent the Avalon region at the 1996 Central Dairies - Tropicanna Provincial Championship to be skated in Mount Pearl February 1 to 3.
