MRD was pleased to be back in action for Antrim’s Home and Harvest Festival. It was wonderful to see our fans at our booth and to participate in the parade. We also provided a Derby Demo after the Parade.

WE ARE SUPER EXCITED to back to practice at GBS on Monday and Wednesday nights. We were able to return in July and are just coming off our normal September break to return to regular practice Monday October 3, 2021. Junior practice runs 5:30pm to 6:30pm and Adult practice is 6:30-8:30. We will be REQUIRING masks to be worn during practice and 3 feet social distancing for the time being. We are continually adapting to the ongoing changes with the Covid endemic. **We however not have practice Wednesday Oct 6th and Monday October 11 due to a school function and a holiday** If you would like to join us please reach out thru the “Contact Us” link.

MRD will also be out and about at the Milford Pumpkin Festival Saturday, October 9th and Sunday, October 10th. Come visit our booth for glitter tattoos and some skate wheel corn hole. And MRD Merchandise will be available to purchase. Hope to see you there! https://www.milfordpumpkinfestival.org/

AND in November we will be hosting an open practice for non MRD skaters looking to get their skates on and join in a practice session with MRD. As of now it will be with masks and distanced but we will keep everyone registered updated with any changes.

COVID 19 has certainly turned 2020 upside down BUT we here at MRD have stayed on top of things! Online meetings, virtual derby challenges, online workouts AND celebrating our tribe’s milestones, the best we can, from a distance, have kept us connected.

We look forward to seeing you all soon, in person, to give out congratulatory hugs but for now we send you the Maddest Love ever virtually!
