Skate, Scooter & Bike Comp a success

More than 200 young people and their families came together at Cessnock Skate Park for the annual Skate, Scooter and Bike Competition on Saturday.
While the weather was a little miserable to start with, the young ones braved the elements to show off their talents and compete for the great prizes on offer.
Luckily as the competition heated up so did the weather, turning out to be a fantastic day of thrills, skills and thankfully, no spills, highlighting the commitment and passion of competitors.
This popular event is hosted by Cessnock City Council’s Youth Service and supported by Samaritans Foundation Information and Neighbourhood Centre and the Cessnock Community and Youth Development Project.
The event wouldn’t be the success it was without the local young people who assisted with set up, judging, organising, photography, cleaning and pack-up.
Cessnock City Mayor, Councillor Bob Pynsent said it is great to see events like these attracting so much community support.
“It’s so important to put on events like these for our local young people and I would like to congratulate everyone involved in putting it together.”
