This is to resume the previous good works of Henry Crystal who delivered Roller Speed
Skating from the Community Sports Centre for 30 years up until his death four years ago.
Henry Crystal was a Trustee of both the Tottenham Community Sports Centre
and the Frederick Knight Sports Ground.
The Crystal Pavilion is named in his honour.
Thereafter it is intended to expand the commitment to roller sports in the community by
delivering other roller disciplines, for which additional & appropriate discipline
specific support will be sought.
Readers who are interested in assisting with the development of this long term project in the
Tottenham area, should place an expression of interest with the BRSF Coach Education Team using
this mailto link.
In the longer term those interested in assisting with this project will need to hold a BRSF
Level 2 Generic Roller Skating, Coach Education Award and be working towards, or already
hold, a BRSF Level 3 Award in one or more of the Roller Disciplines.
The Future
Brian Wood has agreed to hold another one day Speed Skating Officials Course later in the year
at a location north of the Watford Gap. The FISS Development Team would be pleased to hear from
any roller skating club (of any discipline) who would be able to assist with the provision of a
suitable venue for such an event.
