Roller City, Campus West, Welwyn Garden City. Not sure they have open parties though, but you can hire it or turn up.

dont look much different to last time i went - shame the kids aren't older as then i'd have an excuse to relive my youth

There used to be one in Norwich years ago, maple floor if I remember right. Last time I went there was when I was too young to get into nightclubs, so no idea if it's still there. It was up near the airport somewhere.

Nice spec on your skates there Thunder

I was a Graf/Aerobics/ACS651 wide track) skater myself.

Both my local roller disco venues were leisure centre sports halls. The floors were very hard and very smooth, possibly tiled in some way...?
