SOME of Britain's top roller-skaters joined youngsters for charity performances at Albert Park, Middlesbrough, at the weekend.

That's Entertainment was performed by 13 roller dan-cers at the refurbished rink.

The skaters, also joined by other youngsters, included senior British figure champion Karen Davison, junior British free skating champion Katie Beth Lodge, senior British combined champion Emma Gaffney, British cadet free champion, Elise Hadcraft and junior British figure champ-ion Lorna Gaffney.

Some of the cash raised by the event will go towards the cost of sending the British champions to the World Championships, in Argentina, and the rest will go to a prostate cancer charity at James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough.

Councillor Dorothy Davison, event organiser whose daughter, Karen, took part, said: "We are desperate to raise funds to send Karen and Katie Beth Lodge to the World Championships, in November, and this event really helped.

"I would like to thank Middlesbrough Borough Council for letting us have the skating rink for free.
