Eastbournes best Skate Newsletter…
29/06/2009 by tim.
Newsletter Housekeeping - Ladies and Gents - it’s that time of year when we trim our databases, to try to reduce overheads - as there are thousands of people getting the Sk8school Newsletter now and there is a small charge for every one we send out! With this in mind we’ve instructed the database to purge accounts that have “bounced” newsletters, or had some other kind of recent technical problem. If you find you don’t have the Extreme Weekend Issue of the Sk8 M8s and Sk8school newsletter by 2nd July then email Tim and he’ll send the newsletter to you and ensure you are reinstated on the database. Many thanks.

Brighton Picnic Skate Review
07/06/2009 by tim.
The Brighton Picnic skate was a bit of a weather gamble, but one that paid off. As we arrived on the Brightom Marina roof we were greeted with a light shower of rain, but before we’d even got our boots on, it had cleared and looked safe enough to start out.
The wide open spaces, once out of the Marina complex pleased some of the Sk8 M8s!
And soon we stopped at the Pier for a few breakfast doughnuts!
Pressing on - to meet up with the Bognor Sk8 M8s ….
Seeing the sights along the way…
And sampling the surfaces we came across.
All very different to Eastbourne and other home turfs.
It was not long before the sun was out and we were feeling the heat…
We’d come a long way to the Picnic site, little did we realise how far we were going to end up going!
After the picnic some of us decided to continue “for a bit”.
A promising start into Hove…
And for some reason we didn’t stop…
Except for grooming!
And Photo Shoots! All because Liz’s sister lived in Shoreham and we’d been promised tea and biscuits!
So over the bridge we went… (once Liz had eventually shown us the right way!)
But happiness prevailed
and we were soon there…
And a warm welcome awaited!
Winnie the Sue!
The going was tough on some of the Shoreham surfaces - but luckily a handy van was on standby to give us a lift part of the way back.
Plenty of room for all….
Any more for a ride?
And we bail out ready for some more skating!
Where shall we stop for a cuppa?
Finally 6 hours later we get back to the Marina - 14 miles of happy skating and a lot of wrong turns and mucking about!
Well done everyone!
