LIPHOOK’S first roller disco attracted more than 100 children, teenagers and parents to the Millennium Centre during half term.

Karen Feeney, who organised the event, was overwhelmed by the popularity and constant flow of new participants.

“I would call it a huge success and we are now looking into holding roller discos on a regular basis,” she said.

“We had people queuing up outside the hall before we opened.

“It was great to see whole families taking part, not just children, and everyone was having a lot of fun.”

Husband-and-wife team Pete and Heather Pocock, from Disco Skate, who ran the event, have been holding regular sessions in Guildford, Farnborough, Alton, Fleet and Aldershot over the last three years.

Children as young as three can join in and Heather believes it is the perfect low impact exercise for all age groups.

All the safety equipment, including skates, pads and helmets, is provided by the couple, who have accumulated more than 300 pairs of skates in different sizes over the years.
