If anyone is interested travelling a bit further, there is a 2-day May Day in Hell event in Helsinki 30/4-1/5/2011. Impressive selection of guest coaches from the States. I may go...
Have a look: http://www.helsinkirollerderby.com/mayday-in-hell-2011/
MayDay in Hell includes two days of International roller derby.
Day 1 (30.4.2011) will include training and a double-header bout
Day 2 (1.5.2011) is all about the full-day bootcamp for skaters and referees.We have 5 great coaches confirmed for the skaters’ bootcamp. We are working hard to get some great referees to help us give Europe’s referees a great bootcamp, too! Stay tuned for more info about the referee coaches!
You can choose to participate on Saturday, Sunday or both days.
Note: All our participants are expected to have passed their WFTDA minimum skills requirements.
ADD 7/12/10 - I got some more info about this. You'll get to bout with/against international teams! Spaces are strictly limited and as they are trying to get a real international event together, only a few *skaters* per team are accepted. They would like more NSOs and refs! They can take 56 skaters on Sat and 60 on Sun (they *may* take extra non-skaters). Sat bout takes ~300 audience. Sat will be free for NSOs and refs, Sun you have to pay as it's a boot camp. Skaters pay for both days. Participation costs are Saturday: 25€, Sunday: 60€, Saturday & Sunday –package: 75€
IMPORTANT
If you're interested you will need to fill in an application form by 13/12/2010. YES, THAT'S BY 13th DECEMBER! The organising league will pick the skaters. To apply, fill in the form on the webpage and they will send you an invite, click the link (one for skater and one for refs) and it will take you to a form to fill in.
