UPDATED 4th July 2010:
Well, what an awesone day the ESD turned out to be!
Around 100 skaters of all ages groups turned up to session Team Extreme's temporary skatepark for the day in beautiful sunshine. Many of you even stuck around after the England-Germany game had kicked off (let's not talk about the game though, shall we...)
(MASSIVE apologies though to everyone for Team Extreme's clanger in forgetting to load the coping on to the lorry. Real school boy error on their part.)
This event would not have been possible if it wasn't for the extremely generous support of the following local businesses (in no particular order):
J&L Ball Interiors, Dawson of Stamford, Voujon,
Mama Liz's Soul Food Shack, Cummins Generator Technologies
Paul Johnson Property Consultants, UK Printwear
Watson Mitchell Blackburn Property Management
Rutland Cycles, Stamford Living, Tuk Tuk Thai Foods
