My name's Nickl Morgan, i work for a young peoples place called Grassroots in Cardiff, Wales. We provide information and advice to young people on a number of different issues such as drugs, housing, sex and many more. We also provide discount recording studio, phtography room, art rooms. On March the 28th we with Cardiff council, Safer Cardiff, Imtech and South Wales

are staging a one day skatefest outdoors in Cardiff city centre. It wil start at 10am and finish at 5pm. There will be live bands and Hip'hop groups throughout the day. What we are try8ing to find are some professional skateboarders or in-line skaters to come down free of charge and provide proffesional advice to young people using the facility and to provide proffesional entertainment as well. There will be alot of people there at least an estimate of 500. I was wondering if you knew of any associations or if yourselves could provide banners or send down representitives. It will be a massive publicity deal, there will be a large scale half pipe with a street vert section and a stage. So if there is anything information that you think could be useful please could you email me back asap. Thank you for your time, i look foward to hearing from you.

All the best

You should get in touch with Gareth who owns Cardiff skate park, or speak to Jerome who works there. Lee Dainton and the kill city boyo's are usually not too far from the park. Also, try Freestyle skate shop in Newport.(if you haven't already)

I've recently left Cardiff, but send me an email (ben@dilatedmind.com) and I'll pass on some names and numbers for you.

Sounds like a good idea mate, work permitting, I'll do me best to get there for it.
