Roller skating champions

1950s

Judy Clancy (pictured centre) skating around the perimeter of the DeLuxe Rink with two unidentified skaters. It is possible these are the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Women’s Skating Champions. Crowds of people are seated around the edge of the rink.

Handwritten annotation on the reverse reads: “N.Z. Intermediate Champion. In Kilmore St. “DeLuxe Rink” – Christchurch”.
