Get Your Skates On!
a history of Plymouth's Roller Skating Rinks 1874-1989
by Diana Lawer

This lavishly illustrated 218-page softback examines in words and pictures how the new roller skating craze ‘rinkomania' caught on in the three towns Plymouth, Devonport and Stonehouse in the early 1870s and remained a popular pastime through to the 20th Century.

The book contains over 85 rinking postcards, including colour, and rare views of Plymouth rinks and skaters, along with 115 other illustrations and maps providing a valuable pictorial record of how The Three Towns embraced the roller skating boom with great enthusiasm.

British Indoor Inline Speed Skating Championships

Skate Central, Queens Road, Sheffield

Sunday, 30 March 2008

Inline speed skaters will be competing in the British Indoor Championships
this weekend at Sheffield’s Skate Central.

The Federation of Inline Speed Skaters (FISS) will be holding this annual event on Sunday 30th March. Races start at 12 noon with under 12s girls and boys and progress through the day with Juniors (16/17), Seniors and Veterans for both men and women. Spectators are welcome and there will be a chance for potential speed skaters to try for themselves during a break in the races from 2:00 to 3:00pm. The day will finish with inter club relay races and presentations. This event marks the end of the winter, indoor, season.

Inline speed skating is a fast and exhilarating sport where the skaters compete over various distances (laps) around an oval track with juniors and seniors achieving speeds of over 30mph. The latest speed skate technology gives the inline speed skater the ability to skate at very much the same pace as ice speed skaters, and their tight fitting lycra skin suits, in club colours, make every fraction of a second count in close exciting races.

SPORT ENGLAND & CLUBMARK
are looking to make contact with
Sports clubs in the Luton & Bedfordshire area

Sport England has commissioned management consultants Knight, Kavanagh & Page (KKP) to pilot an interactive project in the Bedfordshire and Luton area, prior to its roll-out across the rest of England.

The project is designed to provide a better understanding of the ability of local clubs
to cater for children and young adults.

The purpose of the exercise is to develop an interactive system that will provide ‘team BEDS&LUTON’ with a friendly route to data. It will cover club location and status, age range of members, number of junior members and when the club meets. The system, accessed via a web browser with a detailed search facility, will display data as a series of maps, tables and summary reports for individual clubs.

A questionnaire is currently being distributed to clubs, to collect the key data and also asks about actions or support that would help clubs to sustain or increase participation in sport.

The survey has intentionally been designed to be relatively short and easy to complete and should take no longer than ten minutes. It has been produced in paper and electronic formats and can be completed in a variety of ways, as shown below:

■ On-line	- and returned automatically to KKP via a submit button
■ Electronically	- completing details on a Word version and e-mailing it back to KKP
■ On paper	- completing the questionnaire and returning it via Freepost to KKP
■ By telephone	- providing details to KKP staff.

If your club is located in Luton or Bedfordshire you are requested to contact either Peter Owens or Charlie MacLeod of Knight, Kavanagh & Page by telephone on 0161 764 7040, or

via the Knight, Kavanagh & Page website, questionnaire, (this link opens a new page) or
