Hey there Gang,
We are here for you this December. We know that usually, we would all be out out, as its the time of year once that you still actually make an effort for, even if you're over 35. But 2020... well, you know the story. So things are looking different this year. We can still smile though! Here are some offers of ways Roller Girl Gang can give something back to this wonderful community.
Update: 23rd December
The Good News Giveaway has now been drawn - thank you for all the entries.
Winners are:
Better Bearings Pack - Luciana R
Velvet Wheels and jam plugs - Kelso L
Luna Skates - Jessica K
Discoblox - Kilja
Rainbow Knee Pads - Alex H-G
Coming soon!
Actually, this one isn't available yet, but it's too exciting to keep under wraps any more!
We are soon to be launching a monthly subscription box. Here is a teaser - can you work out what could be in it? This is a collaborative box designed by @doom_skates and Roller Girl Gang.
Festive Skating Challenge - open throughout December 2020
Take a photo or video of you skating in some festive garb. It could be your ugly Christmas sweater, something sparkly, a Santa hat, or full Rudolph onesie!
Let's just make people smile!
We know roller skates are popular right now, but there are still so many people who are yet to be converted to a lifestyle involving 8 wheels. Whenever we skate outside, people smile and nostalgically nod their head and tell us "I used to do that when I was young!" Roller skates bring back happy childhood memories for so many people. We are here to remind you that being happy is important at all ages, so if it makes you happy (and it's not causing harm) - do more of it!
Please send your photo on WIX, Instagram @roller_girl_gang or email to skate@rollergirlgang.co.uk.
If we publish your photo, we will send you a 'World's Okayest Skater' enamel pin badge for free. Open to worldwide.
By sending us your picture, you give us permission to publish it on our website or social media, tagging you if you include the means for us to do this. You can use photos from previous years, but we would be happier if you get take new ones! Our gift may not be returned or exchanged. There is no monetary value associated with our gift. Open to worldwide. We reserve the right to close this early, so get your entries in.
Members: Free Christmas-themed Roller Dance class on Monday 21st December 7.30-8.30pm
Join us for a festive freebie! We have a fun and easy routine for your small skate space. It's up to you if you join us adorned with fairy lights or tinsel. You must register to receive the Zoom link to your inbox. We have choreographed this routine for all ability levels, and will offer you a choice of either beginner or intermediate levels. If you've not attended one of our Zoom classes before, come and try it out.
If you miss this, we will post a tutorial video in the members' tutorial area.
Due to Leeds being in Tier 3, we are unable to re-start our physical classes, so we will carry on with our Monday night Kitchen Roller Dance classes on the 7th and 14th December (we gotta dance!)
