Help us keep the site tidy by taking your rubbish with you when you leave.
What happens if it rains?
Our event will go ahead even if it rains. Experience has taught us that it tends to be showery... so do pack that waterproof! The track is a high grade of tarmac and we are able to continue to skate unless it is hurricane conditions.
