Southampton skaters are invited to get their skates on for a fun-filled trip to France.
Euroblade, a popular inline skating event, has taken
place in Southampton since 1999, but, for the first time this joint
collaboration between the twinned cities of Le Havre and Southampton is
taking place across the water.
Le Havre is giving the event a European flavour by inviting keen
cyclists and skaters from the UK to make the trip to France on Sunday
April 29 and join their French counterparts on a route around the town
that will take approximately two hours.
Afterwards, to make this a memorable experience for UK participants,
the town of Le Havre has organised an exciting programme of free events
to keep people entertained. Some of the attractions being made
available to participants will include the Musee Le Havre and the Ship
Owner’s Mansion.
Anyone wanting to take part will first need to book and pay for their
ferry seat directly with LD Lines on 0870 428 4335 or online at
www.ldlines.com. Once the ferry place has been booked participants will
need to register with Southampton City Council’s Events Team who will
arrange for a free breakfast and T-shirt on arrival at Le Havre.
The online registration form includes further details, pictures from
past events and information on the route that will be taken around Le
Havre. It can be found at www.southampton.gov.uk/leisure/events
