Sports Development Officer and event organiser Hannah Colston told us, “This event was truly inspirational, the support from partners such as the Youth Service and the Town Council were key to its success and the young people have given us lots of ideas for future events. The standard of competition and skills were very impressive at the Jam, we have some real talent in and around Tavistock and the Skate Warehouse did a fantastic job of entertaining the crowds and supporting the competitors.
Thank you to all that were involved.”
