Thank you to all who donated. We raised $60 for the Canadian Mental Health Association, which will result in LOCO Roller Derby obtaining a set of league helmet panties, and knowing we did a good deed in donating to a good cause.

In other news, we did skill testing tonight, and all of our attending skaters passed to a level high enough that we’ll be bringing scrimmaging into our practices more often, and for more serious practice of roller derby, while continuing drills to increase the skill levels. But don’t worry. We always have a beginner’s trainer on hand, and a beginner’s area for safety, so don’t be intimidated, we’ll help you get started!

Don’t forget, you can support LOCO Roller Derby and keep us providing gear for our new skaters and getting more people skating, by buying LOCO Roller Derby T-shirts. $20 for members and $25 for non-members. Ask any LOCO Roller Derby skater to order! Shirts are now available in women’s fitted, women’s tank, and men’s /unisex styles and sizes, and come with optional name and number on the back. In red or black color choices.

Please note: Practices are closed on Friday May  21, 2010 in observance of the long weekend for Victoria Day on May 24. We’ll see you back on the track on Friday May 28, 2010, at the YMCA Centre Branch, corner Waterloo and King, London, Ontario! Watch for the next event, and keep skating!
