Holly Notcutt

It is with much regret that we learn that Holly Notcutt, one of the founder members of the Revolution Skate Squad, is moving to a new post. Holly, along with Raychel Marcus and Veronica Carver and several youngsters from the Barracks and Middlegate Estates of Great Yarmouth, was of great assistance in getting the new skatepark built. We wish here well in her new career.

New Skate Park Grand Opening

The Revolution Skate Park had its offical grand opening on Saturday 25th July. Several dozen skateboarders and BMX riders participated in the event, which was opened by the Mayor of Great Yarmouth, Tony Smith, and the local MP Tony Wright. After the official opening skateboarders and BMXers gave a demonstration of their skills which, in many cases, was stomach churning.

Many thanks for this project has to to go to Holly Notcutt, Community Development Worker for the Neighbourhood Management Programme, and to Raychel Marcus from Children's Social Services.

Revolution Sk8 Squad:
Project- Skate Park

The first stage of a new and exciting youth project is well underway. The Revolution Skate Squad, a community youth group based in South Yarmouth, worked for months to organise a ’Skate Demo Day’ for local residents in the area. The committee, aged between 8 and 15 years, officially formed at the beginning of the year due to frustrations at the lack of affordable teenage facilities in the South Yarmouth area.
