should say a polite "excuse me" to make others aware

area of the rink and should keep away from that area. Skaters
who are receiving a lesson should be given special consideration.

minute "hold" will be allowed for that skater; after
that, the spot will be filled by a Walk-On skater.

hold privilege in the future.
