Is anybody sore after last practice? If you weren’t there, you missed lots of fitness drills, and some fun jammer action. Who knows what’s up for next week? Transitions? Jumping? Roller derby dodge ball? We could do anything. It’s our last skate of the year, and it could be crazy! You should come out. Plus, there will be cupcakes! Oh, and a little quiz:

1. Read the WFTDA handbook: http://wftda.com/rules/wftda-rules.pdf
2. On Friday, Dec. 10, I’ll post a short quiz here on the blog and to the Raw Meat Vancouver Facebook page. Do the quiz, bring it to Raw Meat on Saturday, Dec. 11, and you’ll get a cupcake! No quiz, no cake.
3. Eat the cupcake.
4. Wow your friends at the next bout with your encyclopedic knowledge of the rules of derby.

What could be better than carbs AND encyclopedic derby knowledge?

Join us at Thunderbird Community Centre, 2311 Cassiar St., from 5 PM to 7 PM on Dec. 11 to experience the madness! Raw Meat roller skating sessions are $7, and full safety gear is required (helmet, wrist, elbow and knee pads, mouth guard).

New Skaters Always Welcome (And So Are Experts!)

If you are new to roller skating, please don’t be afraid to come to Raw Meat! We present variations on all of our drills so that everyone can work at their own level. We’ll show you the basics, and you’ll have mad skills in no time.

Don’t Forget! December 11 is the LAST Raw Meat Skate of 2010!

Our skating session on Dec. 18th has been cancelled. Thunderbird needs to do some work on the gym. So, please join Raw Meat Vancouver at Central City Arena for the public skate (7 to 9 PM) on BOTH Friday, Dec. 17 AND Saturday, Dec. 18. After skating, we’ll head to Central City Brewing for a pint or two.

Raw Meat will start up again on Saturday, January 8, from 5 to 7 PM every Saturday. Let’s make 2011 the year of derby!
