Hi, summer hill roller rink was a Friday night must for a gang of us from work F W Thorpes in 1969, a bloke called doc was the manager, there would be a figure of eight contest for money prizes, you had to bump others over at the crossing of the 8. At times we would drop the heads off matches on to the ring and they would bang as the wooden wheels went over them. I was crapp at skating at first to be honest but it was a great night out, if paradise was half as nice, was the no one and everyone would belt around the rink when it was played, when I hear that song on the radio it always takes me back to Friday's at the rink, one of our gang upset one of the bouncers once and the word went around the rink in a flash and everyone stopped skating, there was a bit of a scuffle between a few of us but we knew we were in trouble so we were sneaked out the side door into a builders van to escape, funny now but not then. Great times.
