The latest appeal to get planning permission to stick houses on the park has been viewed invalid. Good news for the short term but still an uncertain long term future. The land owner allegedly reacted angrily and pledged to put up rents (constructive eviction). Oh well.0 Comments
The Developers' appeal on the plan to close the Trick Factory will take place this week, 26-29 January, at the Parkdean Holiday Centre in West Bay, from around 10am to at least 4pm each day. If you are able to come, and show as much support for the Trick Factory as possible, that would be great. It may be very dull legal stuff, etc., but merely showing your face will be important to save the place.0 Comments
FROM NEXT WEEK (until further notice):-
Tuesdays - BIKES ONLY
Thursday - SKATE ONLY
Other sessions are still mixed.
Hope this works for most......

It was a great night on Thursday, but TOMORROW (SATURDAY) IS THE BIG DAY TO SAVE THE TRICK FACTORY - the West Dorset District Council may be talking about deferring development for a year, but that does not mean the Trick Factory's future is safe, now or in 12 months time. The Trick Factory building is not owned by the Council, for a start. We need at least 20 Trick Factory users at the Bridport Arts Centre at 11:45am tomorrow morning, preferably with cameras, and wearing something bright orange, but do show up even if you don't have a camera or orange clothing - there will be plenty to do. And another twenty at 2.30pm would be great. We will be persuading passers by to have their pictures taken to add to the photo petition, with their own captions or ones you come up with for them. TRICK OR STREET. See you tomorrow. - Clive0 Comments

TRICK FACTORY OPEN DAY

This coming Thursday we have an "open evening" with the view of enlightening or reminding people of all the positive things our skate park has to offer.
All are welcome as always, but I wish to point out here that areas of the park may be designated for spectators so riding opportunities may be a little limited.
This being the case it may demonstrate we need a bigger park !!!!!
