Ice rink returns thanks to new sponsor Wave

ISLANDERS will be able to skate on the ice again this Christmas thanks to a last-minute rescue by Wave Telecom.

There were doubts about whether the popular event would return to the island after its usual sponsor Sure pulled out. But now telecoms company Wave has stepped in as a sponsor of the ice rink in Market Square.

It has joined together with parent company JT in Jersey, which has helped bring about the sponsorship.

The skating rink will be open from 8 December and will include traditional festive market stalls and some celebrity guests.
