Claire Kirkup
"We still have the same trampoline bought for us in 1981- been through a few mats and now have to buy springs online, as mum was buying springs from Dwight’s and got told she had bought a whole pallet over the years and they weren’t getting any more"
Natalie Porter
"Loved those tramps! They had Supertramp trampolines which were the best residential ones. So much bounce!"
Colette Wiedeman
"There used to be lines of kids waiting to get on, and you have limited time before someone else was trying to get on it. Had many awesome days at Maidstone Pool."
Manuel Dalton
"They had wicked bounce too!
I did a double front flip from my knees one time but when landing I had over cooked it. Luckily I put my arms out and ‘caught’ the bar. If I had have missed it, it would have been my teeth/mouth/nose/face that would have collected the bar."
Lauren Welsh
"The hole in the fence #IYKYK "
