go for it Rob... then you can have a go at moaning about organising something too

gunna give them a buzz later today and get some details. Looks like they do private bookings, just depends on price and numbers i guess

looks the nuts though!!

The park is really nice. 2 amazing bowls with deep and shallow-er ends (the one with pool coping might be skate only?), a nice wide mini ramp thats only about 4ft high and an OK street area. When I went it was pretty packed but it still wasnt too bad to get a go.

that's a bit closer to home, but will there still be pie?

pickle · « **Reply #5 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:38 AM »

Don't worry John, they'll always be pie!

The seating/eating area is really nice, it looks out over the park but its behind glass so its warm too. Someone said the food is good but I didnt try any, or the seats.
I was just in the park the whole time i was there

Oh, there were quite a few RADBMX stickers on the bikes in there, probably cos its not that far from the RADshop. I wonder if Stodgy could pull some "local" strings and get a deal on a RAD night there??

I'd be up for a bit of this, even if it is a bit of a drive and a bit 'South'

Initial call didn't prove to fruitfull, the lady said they don't do private bookings but you can do a 'party' booking. Once i explained what we required she has given me the managers details and an email has gone off

Whats the difference between a group and a party then?? Silly girl.

pickle · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2011, 10:20 AM »

a 'party' in their eyes is just a small group of riders (with a coach) but they wouldn't stop other people entering the park

I have emailed the manager of the park, so lets hope they allow it to happen

Who knows, I have added the details of the site so they may even have a little look around and see this thread

I think they do actual birthday partys, with a big table somewhere in the building for a kids tea. The skatepark is still open for the public but you maybe get a deal on entry for everyone in the "party".

Skateparks are the new soft-play areas

I think you're bang on there Alex, let's hope my email gets a good response

nosepickben · « **Reply #14 on:** November 01, 2011, 12:15 PM »

Ahh, i see. Party as in jelly + ice cream.
Money talks boys. If enough want to go then they'll work something out. Good luck.

Just had a reponse to my email. basically they don't do private sessions and are not willing to let us book it for a closed door ride

fugazi · « **Reply #22 on:** November 04, 2011, 04:00 PM »
