The to-do list is long

but we're tackling it one step at a time.

And right now, that step is to let you know that the Bristol Board Meeting is returning on the 12th September 2026.

Many of you will have been before - it's been running almost twenty years now!

For anyone unitiated - it's a charity skate event and the biggest of it's kind in the UK.

We'll skate together from Bath to Bristol along the old railway line - away from traffic, mostly flat, and largely resurfaced in the last few years. There's never been a more comfortable time to join in.

There are too many highlights to mention, but certainly the biggest thing for us is getting to put faces to so many names and enjoy a day out on our board with a few hundred like-minded folk.

The best ways to raise money are:

• Pestering your friends!
• Buying raffle tickets

The raffle is a whole event unto itself... you have to see it to believe it.

With gear to be tested, prizes to be won and friends to be made it really is worth booking a train ticket to Bath to join us for the day.

Further details including raffle sponsors, the chosen charity and BBQ possibilities to follow.

For now - get it in yer diary!

See you on the 12th September (if not before),
Matt @ Vandem
