Do you hear that ticking? That’s because this week’s edition of Raw Meat is going to be a blast! Get ready to skate and jump in an overly dramatic slow motion movie scene way because… Tiki TimeBomb is this weeks special guest coach! BOOM!
I hear there is evil afoot so prepare to have some dynamite-stick-like drills thrown at you and your well-shaped derby backsides as they fly around the track. If you can’t stand the heat… get out of the curling rink or you might end up being main course at the Luau.
Everybody limbo to the Epsom salt bath!
Don’t Forget:
Please bring a black and a white shirt with you in case we divide into teams.
Fees for this lesson are attendance based averaging around $10 – 12. Please bring change accordingly!
Who Can Come to a Raw Meat Meaty Session:
Raw Meat Meaty Sessions have skill requirements. You can only skate if you have passed the Raw Meat Basic Skills test, or if you are a current skater or on-skate referee with the TCRG. If you are new to Raw Meat, please attend our sessions on Saturdays from 5-7 PM at Thunderbird Community Centre, 2311 Cassiar St., and speak to a coach about when you will be ready for the Meaty sessions. If we are not familiar with your skating, you will not be allowed to skate at a Raw Meat Meaty session.
We are running our usual 5-7 sessions Saturdays at Thunderbird all summer, so come on out if you can’t make a morning session. Or, if you feel like getting even more awesome into your day, come on down and make it a Double Meat Saturday.
The Rules:
Everyone at a Raw Meat Meaty session must sign a waiver saying that they accept the risks of skating. No waiver, no skating. All skaters must abide by our strict non-contact rule. We do not allow hitting, pushing or overly aggressive skating. Any skater engaging in contact will be asked to leave immediately. We do allow hip/arm whips, and safe touching of teammates. (If you aren’t comfortable grabbing people, you should probably take up badminton instead!).
All skaters must wear full safety gear (knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmets AND mouth guards) while skating. The floor at the Curling Club is very hard, and you must keep your gear on while you are on the skating floor.
We have two simple rules at Raw Meat: 1. Don’t be an Ass-Hat. 2. Be Safe. There is zero tolerance for breaking these rules.
Getting There:
The Royal City Curling Club is on numerous bus routes. If you are driving, there is plenty of free parking. If you can give someone else a ride, please do so! Post in the comments to arrange rides (and those getting a ride, don’t forget to chip in for gas)
See You All Saturday!
