HELP US GET OUR EXTENSION
First of all, hopefully most of you reading this have been down our way some time or other and had a roll in goreyskatepark. We know its not huge, but it is great wee park and we are very lucky to have it. It is now over 2 1/2 years old and has only had the fencing replaced since then as the original fencing was damaged and removed.We are applying to our council/ departments/ development groups locally to see if we can get an extension on to the skatepark. The plan or idea is to get a beginners area, mostly flat ground, and hopefully a street orientated area too, stairs, rail, ledges. The fencing can be reviewed at the same time as it too close to the overall skatepark anyway, and maybe even put in some cabeling for future lighting.
We would like to ask you to help our application by sending us an email of support for this application to the skateclub, info@goreyskateclub.com
If you could , please discuss that wether you have skated it, what you impressions were of the skatepark, the surface, the skaters in the park/ outside of the park, the onlookers in and out of the skatepark,, the other people in the town park, the atmosphere, the challenge of the park, the amount of room/ lack of room, would an extension be a good idea/ bad idea, events you have been at, would lighting be a good idea, why do like the skatepark or hate etc, how long your skating, where your local skatepark is etc, parks in ireland you like/ dislike etc.,
We hope that some of you reading this would be kind enough to take 5-10 mins and bash out a quick email and send it to us, hopefully with your help and support, our application will be looked at more favourably.
much appreciated and thanks everyone

Goreyskateclub are delighted to announce that we received a €200 grant from the Community and Enterprise Department, Wexford Co. Council.Paddys Day comp 17th March 2009
Yes, to start the summer off, Goreyskateclub in association with Wreckless Skate Shop are holding and Paddys day skateboarding competition. We will be particpating in the local Gorey parade first and then heading up to the skatepark for the comp. The parade starts from the monument at the top of the town (up past the hospital) at 3pm on 17th of March. We are meeting at 2.30pm on the Avenue beside the new civic centre development (large wreckless sign in front garden). We would ask that all and any skateboarders and inline skaters from Gorey or visiting come with us in the parade. The more the merrier. If you do, you have free entry to the competiotion in the skatepark. Simple as that. If you dont, a €5 entrance fee must be paid. The funds raised are for GSC to help get an extension onto the skatepark. Prizes are being given by Wreckless. We hope to have a bit of music, a bit of craic, a game of skate or possibly a street skate comp etc. different age groups so everyone has a chance and a prize for best dressed also.
So remember, its paddys day, MAKE AN EFFORT!!!
