Monadnock Roller Derby is still reveling in the awesomeness that has been the 2019 season. The fun doesn’t stop… It’s time to fall for roller derby with these fun and fabulous events that you won’t want to miss:
Skating Nights are BACK! Fun for the whole family. Skate rentals, hot and cold concessions, music, lights, glow toys, and games. Bring friends, make new ones, and dress in costume for Halloween! 6:00-9:00 PM at Antrim Town Gym. $5 admission + $6 for skate rentals = still cheaper than a movie ticket and benefits local nonprofits. See the Facebook event page for details.
THIS is the pumpkin festival you want to be at! Downtown Milford, NH, all day. Meet our junior and adult skaters, sample some sweets from our official league cookbook, challenge your friends to competitive games, grab some Monadnock merch, and get festive in roller derby style. See the Facebook event page for details.
Same details as above, but theme TBA… Stay tuned!
It’s become one of Monadnock Roller Derby’s sweetest traditions: a big, open scrimmage, bringing in lots of players from leagues around New England, followed by a big potluck meal for all. Open to the public, $5 fee for participating skaters.
This is a GREAT opportunity to see how roller derby is played if you haven’t seen a game since its TV days, or if you’re new and want to meet other derby folks in the wider community. We’re always looking for great folks to officiate on or off skates, so come join the fun! Questions? Email contact@monadnockrollerderby.com
See you soon!
Join us this Friday, August 2, 5-8 PM at Frogg Brewing in Marlborough, NH! Win a pair of tickets to our August 10 double-header, grab some sweet Monadnock swag, play a few games, and meet some our Mad Knockers for an evening of beer, barbecue, and community fun.
Maybe even help us with a name for a potential brew!
