Stapleford Skatepark opening
We’re still buzzing about our Stapleford Skatepark opening at the weekend.
It was a hive of activity with over 100 people joining in the celebrations, opened by Deputy Lieutenant Nick Rubins, with attendees including Broxtowe Mayor Councillor Robert Bullock, Juliet Campbell MP and representatives from Broxtowe Borough Council, Stapleford Town Council and the Stapleford Towns Fund Board.
Skate Nottingham CIC ran a hugely popular programme of activities including free skateboarding coaching for all ages and abilities, a Women and Girls All Wheeled Jam, and an Open jam for skateboarders, inline and quad skaters and BMX.
Skate Nottingham will be running a series of 17 free coaching sessions through the spring and summer, including weekly sessions through the school holidays, a number of which are specifically for women and girls. Skateboards and helmets will be available for free to use in all sessions. Times and dates can be found at www.skatenottingham.co.uk

Rylands Shedz create a new Orchard at Trent Vale allotments
As one of their first activities the group have completed, Rylands Shedz have created a new orchard at Trent Vale Allotments.
The newly formed community group designed for anyone over 18. It’s a space to connect, socialise, and get stuck into practical projects. The group work on everything from woodworking and metalworking to gardening and traditional crafts.
The group recently secured a dedicated plot at the Trent Vale allotments, which will serve as a hub for their future projects and workshops.
