Well done to Jezz, Tomsy, Tim (& back-in-the-states Mark) for getting it together.

The council have asked us to run some grom sessions at Bushy in the New year.
Basically its an introductory-level 'how-to' covering the real basics for 10-12 year olds:
Rolling into the record books. Dave Cornthwaite from the UK has travelled 3,000 miles across Australia on … wait for it … a skateboard!!
Dave is currently attempting a 4,000 mile / 6,000 km from Perth to Brisbane. The aim is to raise £50,000 sterling for charity. They are currently a quarter of the way there with just under £13,000 raised.
So far it has taken Dave 90 days to make his way from Perth to Sydney. He has become somewhat of a celebrity in Australia where they have nicknamed him “Crazy Pom” and rumour has it that he has even been offered a part in TV soap Neighbours.
The third or fourth Greatest Living Scotsman tells us:
“We just had the Edinburgh skatepark turned down yet again due to the unique and retarded attitude of some of Edinburgh citizens so it’s back to square one.”
Nothing more to add, really, is there?
