ROLLER DISCO LIGHT PARTY On Monday, October 31st, lots of new and returning faces headed along to the Darﬁeld Recreation Centre for the much anticipated

Roller Disco Light Party, hosted by Two Rivers Community Trust. There was a lovely mixture of all ages joining in the fun,

including adults reliving their younger skating years! It is always fabulous to see young people helping and looking after the little ones, and there was plenty of that happening. Skaters brought along items for the Darﬁeld Foodbank. We received an amazing variety of donations, thanks to everyone's

generosity. Ingrid and Courtney from PhatSk8 did a fantastic job of keeping everyone ﬁtted with skates and helmets. There was plenty of time to skate and play fun games. A huge thanks to those that helped and supported the event, as well as everyone that joined in the fun!

Early Deadline next week due to Show Day! Aunty Lyn and Daisy enjoying themselves.
