Abbey Skate 17 -19 Feb 2010
Following the huge success of last year’s event we are once more transforming Malmesbury Abbey into a Skate Park for three days in the February half term. There will be an Ash Wednesday communion followed by the opening of the park, for more details please see our Programme or for further info go to “Facebook.com/abbeyskate” or contact us on skate@malmesburyabbey.com
This year we will have three days of skating courtesy of Christian Skaters UK, with sessions for beginners /girls only / and of course sessions for the more
experienced skaters of which there is a large community in Malmesbury. We are also planning to hold dance workshops with visiting instructors and Beatbox workshops with TyTe (the Rev Gavin Tyte) who is the developer of the world’s first online beatboxing tutorials and a significant member of the beatboxing community. There will also be a café (with, amongst other things, special hot chocolates to buy!) open throughout the day, a spirituality space and music to skate to!

The whole event is run professionally and with appropriate risk assessments taken. Each skate session and each workshop costs £2 payable on the door – and you will need to bring along your liability waiver (print one from link below)–signed by your parents (if you are under 18). If you would like to book for a Skate session or for one of the workshops please fill out one of our registration forms from the link below. It is not necessary to book beforehand, but it is the only way to guarantee a place.
If you cannot skate or rollerblade do not worry, you are very welcome to come and experience this event within the ancient and tranquil surroundings of the Abbey. Last year young and old enjoyed the event and the Abbey was returned to normal by Saturday morning with no damage thanks to an amazing crew of volunteers!
We are all excited at the Abbey and look forward to seeing you there!!

Bags packed, website checked, on line forms completed, Skate here we come!
You’ll see Lewis, Rhys and Hugo strutting their stuff on the skate ramps (I’ll be the one falling off trying to look cool). I have been facing the mirror trying out my beatbox rhythms, watch out Mr. Corke!
Look forward to watching the Christian surfer/skaters and to seeing you all there.
