Happy Retirement Pat Mayne!

Patricia (Pat) Mayne, well known BC judge has retired after 43 years of judging figure skating.   A former skater and a long time member of the Summerland Skating Club, Pat began her judging career in 1981.  Over the course of the years Pat judged all levels of tests and competitions both in the judging role and as a referee, Tech Rep and technical panel official.  For a number of years Pat served on the Okanagan Region Board and took part in working with coaches to set up clinics and monitoring so many skaters over her time as a judge.  Pat will be sorely missed for many reasons but mostly for the capable, dependable and caring person that she is.
 

The Okanagan Region donated to the BC Athlete’s Trust Fund in recognition of Pat’s many years as a valuable volunteer.  When contacted about the donation Pat had these words to say, and we quote:

 

"I would like to thank you and your OK Region Board for the lovely card and generous donation to the BC Athlete's Trust Fund.  I am so proud and honoured to have been a part of the Okanagan Regional team of officials and volunteers.   I think of all the good times and all of our combined achievements and changes over the past 43 years.  Figure Skating has truly been life altering for me.  I  miss everyone and wish them well in the coming years. Sincerely and with love, Pat”
