friday night cheese party news



our friends at rollapaluza are heading to the forest of dean with all their equipment so if you're all racey and fancy a shot at the SSEC title you'll have to stop eating cheese for a few minutes and set a qualifing time on the rollers in order to qualify for special start line for saturdays 'ride'.
once the qualifiers are done everyone else will then be able to battle it out for fun and maybe a prize!

order your cheese to avoid dissappointment


Cheese don't forget to order your cheese.
