DANCING ON ICE GETS READY TO SKATE INTO LIVERPOOL!

AFTER stunning audiences with two perfect scores in the ITV1 series final, newly crowned Dancing on Ice champion Suzanne Shaw will perform alongside skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean when the tour skates into the Echo Arena Liverpool on 2 May 2008 to 5 May 2008.

Runners-up Chris Fountain and Zaraah Abrahams are also in the line-up and will be joined by fellow contestants Gareth Gates and Linda Lusardi, along with last year’s winner, Kyran Bracken, actress Clare Buckfield, football legend David Seaman and
Bonnie Langford.

All of the celebrities will be trained and choreographed by mentors Torvill & Dean (who will perform several of their favourite routines at each show). Each night the TV Judges will be rink-side to critique their performances. Olympic gold medal winner Robin Cousins will lead the panel, which includes Karen Barber, Jason Gardiner and Nicky Slater. There will also be a guest judge at every show.

Andi Peters will return as compere of the live show.

The stunning pro-skaters will also join their partners on the ice tour. From the current series, Fred Palascak and Frankie Poultney, will partner Zaraah Abrahams and Chris Fountain respectively. Series two pro-champion Melanie Lambert and runner-up Andrei Lipanov will partner Kyran Bracken and Clare Buckfield. Dan Whiston returns with his phenomenal stunts, while pro-skater Pavel Aubrecht makes his first Dancing on Ice appearance alongside Bonnie Langford. Kristina Lenko returns to partner David Seaman and Maria Filippov, Matt Evers and Susie Lipanova conclude the line-up.

At each performance the Arena audiences will have a chance to vote for their favourite skating celebrity. Replicating the format of the ITV1 show, they will be able to use their mobile phones to text vote for their favourite dancing couple.

The audience votes will then be added to the scores from the Judges to decide the winner.

Once the votes have been counted, the winning celebrity will join their skating partner to perform a magical finale. All profits from text voting will go to charity.

* Please note that Suzanne Shaw will not perform on Fridays due to a long-standing commitment and Chris Fountain will only perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday due to Hollyoaks filming commitments.

To book tickets log on to www.accliverpool.com or call the Echo Arena Box Office on 0844 8000 400.   Tickets are priced at £45 / £40 / £32.50 and are subject to a handling / booking fee.

HANDBAGS and PURSES

WHEN attending coffee mornings on Church premises or visiting cafes and restaurants, ladies do tend to put their handbags on the floor.

Sometimes if ladies are helping in the kitchen at a Church or Charity event, handbags are put out of the way on a window sill or a working surface.

This does present an ideal opportunity for a sneak thief to enter the premises sometimes in the guise of a member of the public attending the function, but the real reason for their presence is to steal purses or handbags that have been left unattended.

An incident happened recently at a Church coffee morning in Southport when a man asked for water to take medication.

He made his way to the kitchen and stole a handbag from one of the helpers. He was later prevented from stealing a second handbag.

To try and avoid such an incident from happening at any coffee mornings held in the future.

Ladies please keep your handbag where you can see it. If you are a helper it may be an idea to have all handbags locked safely away before the event begins.

Once the customers arrive you want to enjoy the event and if your handbag is safely locked away, you are able to concentrate on serving the coffee and can move freely around the premises and talk to your friends, in the knowledge that your handbag is safely locked away.

INSECURE VEHICLES

IN the North East area of the Southport, there are still a number of vehicles left insecure and with articles on display.

Sergeant Hilton has asked for a further reminder to be sent out by the Ringmaster system to remind residents to ensure their vehicle is locked when it is parked even if it is in a garage.

The most recent of incidents are in the Melling Road area of the town.

Even with a central locking system it is an idea to double check that the doors are locked before leaving the vehicle unattended.
