What a fizzer eh?

Well I think the dancing last week must have made the rain gods very pleased! If you weren't able to join us on Monday, the thunderstorm caused a blackout at Parks at 6:20pm, and while we tried to wait for the power to come back on, after 7pm the Parks staff determined that it was unsafe for us to hold training (and the raw meat test) that night.

Bummer!




But it means that you all have an extra week to practise your skills and even more of a chance of progressing through to Fresh Meat!

There were a few faces that we didn’t see at training, so to remind you again, you MUST pass the basic skills test to participate in Fresh Meat. Hopefully we’ll see you all next week.

What the blackout means for the skaters who progress through to Fresh Meat, is that the format will be slightly different as we’ve effectively lost a week. The date for the Skills Test in week 5 cannot be changed (10 Dec), so that means pushing the first three weeks forward and changing the date of the FM Mock Test. New dates now look like this:

FM Week 1 – 19/11
Falls, Jumps & Pack Skating

FM Week 2 – 26/11
Blocking

FM Week 3 – 3/12
Whips & Pushes

FM Week 4 – Thursday 6/12 or Sunday 9/12 (TBC asap)
Mock Test (more on this later)

FM Week 5 – 10/12
Skills Test

First things first thought – getting through next week. Registration for Monday’s test will run exactly the same as this week, starting from 6.15pm. You will be allocated the same number and group, so feel free to again dress in your team colour.

Happy skating and we’ll see you soon.
