Well there were pony rides, seed planting, face painting, bands and - oh yes! Sk8school!

We planned to just teach, demo and run a few taster lessons for an hour or two, but it was so well attended that we ended up not being able to leave till 4:30!

Many thanks to Fred and ESK plants for inviting us along. Can’t wait for the next one!

Hopefully they will re-run this event sometime in September

Well a superb turn out for the Sk8 n Chips, with the majority of attendees being on the TXT event service!

Looking forward to the breakfast skate on August 2nd already - because Radio 5 Live (the weekend breakfast show) will be attending - and skating with us!

I hope lots of you support this - and get interviewed for the radio. Turn up a little earlier on the Saturday 2nd August if you’d like to impress the presenters!

Many thanks to Sue for all the DVD’s she handed out at the event! I think it’s time we interviewed her for the newsletter or WhealsON blog!

Well after the redoubt roller-disco on Saturday night, we had a few hours sleep to recover and start Sunday with the Breakfast skate.

Starting at 10am seemed quite a good idea, but arriving at the Holywell later than 11 is not to be recommended in good weather - the queues are a little long.

Still after Saturday I did need the lie in!

The teaching through Sunday was more popular on Sunday, though from what I saw overall skater numbers were down.

All in all though, well worth attended
