THE EIGHTH annual Chard Community Day was a skate success as youngsters and competitors turned out to Henson Park.

The event, which has its main attraction as the Skate Jam, this year also featured a bonfire, battle tag archery, a car show, six live bands, stalls, a raffle and inflatables.

Ryan Doeller, team leader for StreetSpace and one of the event’s organisers, said: “We had a lot of people there and they enjoyed the live music.

“It was probably the amount of people we had last year but then we added the car show, the archery adn the rides and that helped to add some more younger people.”

Ryan also gave a special thank you to his core team of volunteers, Ellis, Tom Terry and Sam.

Mr Doeller added: “We have a core team of StreetSpace volunteers who have worked hard to make this fun and exciting family day happen.’”
