Despite the weather, Euroblade 2002 was a resounding success. An estimated 1000 skaters joined in the fun and rain to enjoy the morning skate around Southampton.

It was an early start but a free breakfast courtesy of Southampton City Council ensured a good turnout of skaters - a large group of French skaters from the twin city of Le Havre  brought their own sense of fun to the event .

Congratulations must go to all at Southampton Council for a very well managed and organised event - well done! We all hope this will be a regular event on the skating calender.

Special thanks to St Johns Ambulance.
