We need your support ......
Feb 18th Update:
Hi everyone, we hope you and those close to you are safe and well.
We hope to be able to re-open Skaterham around 1st April and look forward to seeing you all again.
Proposal:
Our back garden ramps are now near the end of their usable life.
They were only supposed to be a temporary measure but their popularity meant we just kept adding new ramps.
Sadly, the frame beneath has partly collapsed and harsh winters / heavy use has taken its toll on these "all wood" structures.
We will fix up for this year one final time but we need a more permanent and universal solution.
Our proposal would be to get rid of the existing ramps and put in a concrete base. We can then think about adding a canopy so it has all year round use, and then think about what this new space can offer.
Skaterhams home is a community building so we are trying to offer multi-use activities for our local population.
Our latest offering will be group exercise when we re-open for adults and kids.
What would you like to see in this new space?
- Perhaps you love concrete bowls
- Are you "street" and would really like skate-able street furniture, stairs and ledges
- Do you like other sports? How about using the space for football, basketball or tennis
- Are you more into alternative use..... could the space be used for markets, craft sales, car boot sales etc?
The picture below is a mock-up of how it could look.
We need your support--- the more votes we get, the bigger our chances!
First we need you to "agree" with our idea as we want to apply for £250,000 from Surrey County Council to make it happen.
