I was keeping my eye on the Basic Novice Ladies FS at the Santa Claus Cup in Budapest today, because the youngest of the skaters that I have adopted was competing (she didn't just compete - she actually won the competition).
Anyway, I spotted a Mya MILNE (GBR) in the entries list, and I looked her up because my Dad has a friend with the same surname, and I was wondering if there might be a chance that they were related. It didn't take long to find out that the wee girl is Scottish, so it is unlikely.
HOWEVER, what I did find out was interesting. Mya is actually the daughter of the 1995 British Novice Ladies Champion. Going by the double-barrelled name on her Mum's Instagram page, I think she was known as Jennifer Morgan back then. But, I don't know for sure.
And that reminded me of something I have been wondering for a long time. Does anybody know where to find the full results from older editions of the British Championships?
It would be nice to know who all was in the field with Jennifer. See if there are many (or any!) familiar names.
Wikipedia is a good place to start, but the links to results that they have do not go back beyond the December 2001 edition (there are links to results on Die Eiskunstlauf Ecke going back to 1998, but that website has now closed down). And that is only for the Juniors and Seniors. The other levels do not go back that far.
The Skate Guard blog has a brilliant page that lists all the Junior and Senior Medallists for every edition of the British Championships:

I have to admit, I did feel emotional when my eyes reached the 1997 Junior Ladies Champion: Katie Allan, one of my local skaters, who sadly died from bowell cancer at the age of 32 in 2013 (shocked to realise it was 10 years ago that we lost her. It doesn't seem that long ago).
But, it was amazing looking at those Junior Ladies results. Apart from 2001, 2003 and 2007, there was a skater from Northern Ireland on the podium every year from 1996 to 2008.

How times change!
Unfortunately, the page does not list levels younger than Junior. (I suspect Ryan was having the same problems in getting hold of them!)
So, does anybody have any ideas?
