Be There or Be Square

-- Last Thursday was Rockabilly Party Time!

Sally Broyeur landed with an underground hall she had booked for a concert which was cancelled.
We had the place already, let's have a multipurpose-party: support party, introduction of the Paris RollerGirls freshmeats, preview of the 2013 calendar, merchandizing and surprises!

The place was a charming rock'n roll basement under the Belushi's Club, very comfy with a bar and a small stage, and the theme was 50's-60's Rockabilly. Simple and efficient.

We danced all night to the sounds of the three DJs, DJ Winny Mc CORMICK (house, hip hop), DJ SID (dj drum and bass) and SYLVANIE DE LUTECE.
Meanwhile, the photos of the 'making of' of the Calendar were following one another on the wall thanks to Butch's projector. And from time to time we would have a break: we officially welcomed our freshmeats on stage, our president made a small speech, the calendar team unveiled the cover of the calendar which Mrs. Hyde had printed on a canvas sheet at work...

PRG Rookies: The New Generation

Thanks to our Fall Workshops, a small dozen of girls have been detected and enlisted in the league. 

The workshops were pretty successfull despite the late communication.

The concept had been completely revised compared to last year's... revised upwards. 

Not because we are becoming snobbish, but because our league's overall level is (hopefully) improving and we are (unfortunately) lacking indoors official time slots, so that we cannot split the slots or the gym into two to train too different levels.

Last year, the minimum required was basic skating skills, and we would enlist the new girls and validate their agility part of the minimum skills test at the same time.

This time, we were looking for girls who were already agile and who either mastered the derby interactive skills or had the potential and the skating level to learn fast.
