Any takers, would such a event be supported in Sheffield, lots of dressing up, remember the Barbera & Soo night last year

If there is enough interest I know the new owners would give it a go

Is this a wind-up?

No

A few of my gay friends have asked about it, but they feel intimidated unless they are surrounded by like minded folk!

remember the Barbera & Soo night last year

Yes, it failed miserably.

why did it fail

I remember it was a girl who works at the forum that ran it

Gay 70`s , whatever next.

Well before my time anyway. :P

yeh right! even you'd left your teens behind back then hehe

I didn't realise there was such a large number of Gay's in their 70's, but rollerskating???????????????????????????????//

Well I would definitely be up for it - especially if I can wear my 3 wheeled fore-runners of the Inlines that I used in the 80's (not strictly the 70's, but they DO have a stopper, and everyfink. I was so cool in them :cool: ).

Count me in. For sure. And I could drag loads along that would be up for it too. :D :D :D

I'll go with you if you let me hang on to you all the way around! :hihi:

You'll have to keep up with me, K, I'm really really good and really really fast. Or at least I was when I was young and fit.

It was my calling in life.





I guess I'll help you round a bit though..... :D

I'll go with you if you let me hang on to you all the way around! :hihi:
I'd pay double just to see that happening. Lord no!!!!

Didn't you used to go tri-skating down at the Wednesday Gym in the 80's, Feargal?

:rolleyes: No way man. I was far too swotty to hang about with the thunderbird-drinking yoofs. I did have a pair of red and blue roller boots though. Only had one stopper mind, so I have still got the scars.

Editing that to mention the yellow laces. Phew! Feel the chill from my ultra-coollness.

Would you have to be gay to go?
How would you prove it?! :confused: :hihi:

You have to kiss the female bouncer on the door. Unless you're male. :) :o

Does anyone know where I can get some spare stoppers for my tri-skates? Mine MUST be rotten by now...

I'd SO go!

Granted my second cousins hand-me down rollerboots (yellow with blue detailing and blue laces to match, yellow stoppers on both boots to coordinate with the yellow wheels) that went to my sister (I was so envious!) will most likely not feet my clomping great feet, but I'd definately be up for a bit of a roller-romp!

The gayer the better!

:hihi:

sounds fab.
x:rolleyes:

I might use my zimmer frame, its got wheels on :P :P

Can I hang onto you Kristian, we could form a chain.

OH, DEFINITELY!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A SUGGESTION LIKE THIS FOR A LONG, LONG, TIME, ever since going to 'Love On Wheels' in may this year, but being chucked out because I didn't have a full NUS Student membership (Love on wheels was then Students only)!!!


ROLL ON a Gay Roller Disco for Sheffield; it can't come too soon!!!

I'll volunteer to be a Drag Host for the night as well!

If someone will take the responsibility for selling tickets, I know the new owners will give it a go and no, you would not have to be gay to go, that would be discriminating, that was only a suggestion from a gay friend of mine

We could pick a Fri or Sat night in December between Xmas & New Year, charge £6 to get in (inc skate hire) and possibly run it from 10pm to 2pm

I'm not sure I'm up for the responsiblity of selling tickets, but when you get it sorted (and between Christmas and the New Year is good for me!), PM me and I'll definitely come, and bring a few with me.

Can you hire boots, just out of interest?

I think I might have missed the part where it might be held?

Thanks, Party Animal, for drawing our attention to this proposal in the first place, but if you are planning one for around 'Xmas/New Year' and haven't done any of the groundwork, time will be getting short, and people are already planning what they're going out to. I for one will be in London on thurs/Fri, then Ireland next week for a TV appearance and a charity show, and then in Ireland again over the 2 weeks Xmas/New Year Eve...

How about planning a LGBT roller-disco from late Jan/Feb when the students come back??? Maybe called 'Sex On Wheels', or summat?
It might be worth also contacting Psalter Lane Students' union committee re. organising this, as it was them who were behind the original 'Love On Wheels' discos last Summer!

Tyranna who threw you out ? did you get your money back ? partyanimal who are you trying to kid ? You want someone else to do all the work for u as per usual.... ask yourself why the other nights failed ? Things would be good, successful and busy if organised, promoted and run properly...all in my opinion.

Is this not more commonly known as Roller Blading ?? Or am I thinking of a completely different activity ???

It is now. But not in the '80''s....!!!! :)

This happening or what?

Hiya, Borough Gal, from Tyranna as performed in Takapuna the other week!

Was wondering why this thread was apparently resurrected.

I know a DJ who might be interested in putting on a new night, and perhaps he might be interested in a LGBT friendly roller disco event.

I've done a bit of ice-skating before, but I got my first pair of rollerblades in the January sales, and have even done a performance on stage with them! (Nothing fancy, though, just some dancing at walking pace, as I was worried about falling off the edge!!!)

I'd be willling to do Drag Hosting, on skates, of such a night whoever succeeds in organising it!

Hi Tyranna! It was nice to see you at Takapuna's the other week! You were very good.

Well, hopefully, some good organiser will see this thread and sort something out. Fingers crossed!

:D
