So, its 2012, and we're at the onset of a brand new season of Roller Derby here in the Nation's Capital. February is normally early for bouting to start, but not here in Ottawa. We've got some open house news and a bout going on at the end of the month.
First up, the Capital City Derby Dolls are holding an Open House/Intro to Skating clinic this weekend and next, open to all females over the age of 18. The events take place at 11am Saturday, Feb 4 and 11am Saturday, Feb 11 at the Ottawa Technical High School, 440 Albert street, in the gymnasium directly above the primary parking lot. There's a $10 fee to attend, and another $10 is required to rent skates if you dont own your own pair of quads. If you like what you see, you can join up for their 12 week Fresh Meat program. More information can be found at their Facebook page.
Also, the first bout of the year for our local Derby enthusiasts takes place at the end of the month, and sees the Rideau Valley Roller Girls' Riot Squad throw down against the Capital City Derby Dolls' Dolly Rogers in a true Derby derby (footie fans will know what I'm talking about) on the 25th of February. This is an exhibition match that takes place at Norm Fenn gym at Carleton University. More information will be delivered as we get closer to the date, but mark your calendars now and make sure you dont miss it.
