Skate Park Event Sponsors needed for Carnival DayAs part of Marple Carnival Friends of Marple Memorial Park are holding an event at the Skate Park on Carnival Day, Saturday 15 June, with skateboard and BMX demonstrations, coaching and mini-competitions for skate park users.
The event is linked to the Marple Memorial Park Skate Park Development Project, which hopes to raise enough money to refurbish and extend the existing skate park facility in Marple Memorial Park.
Friends of the Park are being supported in this joint community effort by local skaters and bikers, Marple Hall School, Marple Library, SMBC, Marple Civic Society, Marple Vision Partnership, Marple Area Committee, Marple Carnival Committee, Marple and District Rotary Club, Marple Business Forum and Youth Workers from All Saints' Church, who will help to liaise with the young skate park users.
The Carnival event is being put on for us by professional extreme sports company Team Extreme, and will feature four ten-minute demonstrations from a professional skateboarder and professional BMX rider during the day. Team Extreme are also providing a Compare / MC and in between the demonstrations the pros will coach local skate park users and hold some mini-competitions for skateboarders, BMX Riders and one for scooter users too.
Seeking Local Business SponsorsFriends of the Park are currently seeking sponsorship for trophies and prizes that can be awarded to the winners of the three mini-competitions. Local businesses are invited to sponsor each of these for the sum of £50 and we will obviously publicise your generosity during the event. Sponsors will be chosen on a first-come basis but if your business misses out on these opportunities then you are welcome to make a small (or large) contribution to the match funding we are currently raising towards the skate park and this will be publicised in every way we can too.
Friends of the Park are also seeking one or two major sponsors for the whole event, which is costing £1,700 and is currently being paid from Skate Park Project funds.
If you would like to sponsor a trophy and prize in the skate park competitions, make a contribution to the skate park match funding, or even become a major sponsor for the whole event, please get in touch with Mark Whittaker of Friends of the Park via one of the following methods:
