On 10th August 2008 the Goodwood Roller Marathon took place. This is a charity skate (although we just paid our fees and entered without sponsorship) and it runs for various distances (ie: laps) around the famous Goodwood Motor Racing circuit. This year around 300 skaters took part (all electronically tagged and timed) and 4 skaters from Thornbury took part. Here are some pictures and links for you to enjoy!
Here we are folks! Ready to race ... |

 .. all pensive ... probably because the weather wasn't great ... however, the wind was !!! |
 This is the circuit plan. We're going round anti-clockwise .. the cars would go clockwise (luckily there are no cars today!) |
