if you are coming for the whole weekend then below is a link to b&b's in southsea

if you want a hotel then see the link below

try and book as soon as possible as they tend to get quite full in august, also most of southsea is either residents parking, pay and display or short stay only (3hours) so if you can book a b&b which has parking the better

if you prefer to camp then here is the nearest campsite

also the southsea nightlife has changed, there are no longer any clubs on the seafront they have all moved to guildhall square, chaos has moved from the pier to the wedgewood rooms and unfortunatly it isnt on every weekend like it used to be, i will try and find out if it is open on sat the 16th and post up a link to buy tickets online if it is



any questions then just ask away and ill do my best to answer them or find out for you from old man kev and effraim

THAT PLACE SHOULD NEVER BE FILLED IN, I SPENT MY LIFE THERE BETWEEN THE AGE OF 15-17 IT WAS THE NUTS, RIDING WITH MARK LIKLEY, CARL WESTFEILD N ALL THE SOUTHSEA LOCALS. WHEN JOHN THURSTON RAN THE PLACE IT WAS SO GOOD; THE OLD POOL SECTION WAS AMAZING, PROPER COPING TO PING OFF. IT A SHAME THAT IT GETS  DISSED, THE ROLLER RINK AINT THE SAME, ITS THE X GAMES

[kev-s]

ahh the days of john thurston, that brings back some memories, back then we had a air compressor, tools and a welder which came in  handy for repairing the vert and peoples frames

come down for the reunion weekend and check out the park and ur prob meet some old faces/friends
