Skates on at Leigh

Skaters of all ages will compete in the Leigh event.

Keen skaters and BMXers are invited to bring their best tricks to Pumporama, a skate comp at the Leigh School pump track, on Saturday November 18.

The event will celebrate the long-awaited official opening of the Pumporama, which was rained off last year. It will also be a fundraiser for Leigh School.

Billed as a fun family day for anyone who skates, or just appreciates the sport, the day will include live bands, local food and activities for kids. As well as skating prizes, there will be a best-dressed prize as well.

The pump track at Leigh School was funded through the Covid Stimulus Package, an initiative for schools to invest in community projects and aid local economies.

The competition can be entered with a skateboard or BMX bike, and entry is $5. Helmet and shoes are mandatory for safety. Registration opens at 10 am and the comp starts 11am.
