Speed skating at the Rolarena

I remember they had a break so anyone who was upto it could go on the floor and speed around as fast as you could, as if you tried speeding around during the normal sessions one of the redcoat would kick you of for a time, I also liked the couples session when only couples could go on for a while, I used to go on with a lovely girl Val Jones was her name. The redcoats would also keep an eye out for couples sneaking into dark doorways for a kiss n cuddle

Brought back great memories of such as Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Shadows and many more. Try this for the Shadows 'Apache' (another of my favoriites). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLocafpLMi0
