  The first Go Skate Day was held at St Margaret`s Pastures Skate Park on 21st June 2026, sponsored by Graff HQ, Magictoast and AEL (Alex Electrical LTD) the event gave Skateboarders, Scooter Riders and BMX Riders a chance to use the skate-park, compete in competitions to win prizes supplied by the sponsors. The event welcomed riders of all abilities and ages with plenty going on throughout the skate-park and food to keep the energy up provided by a BBQ. The organisers aim for the event to become a yearly gathering and judging by the success of this initial meeting this is highly likely.
