Roller disco success
PLENTY of rollerblading fun was had last Friday as the start of school holidays was marked with a roller disco.
Camperdown Stadium was filled with around 70 people trying out roller-skating in a safe environment.
Warrnambool Roller Derby president and head coach Rose Ceratops said attendees didn’t want to leave when the two-hour event concluded.
“I feel that so many people coming to a roller disco in a regional town is really fantastic,” she said.
“We ran a host of games – we did some limbo and crawling games with our new clientele there.
“We also held a bake sale which was raising money for our junior team, who are going to a border clash event in Geelong in the coming months.
“I’ve had some emails already come across to me asking when the next one will be able to happen, so I’m about to start negotiating to have another roller disco by the end of the year.
“The staff at the Camperdown Stadium were really good to work with – they were really fabulous in helping us out.”
Highlights included upbeat energetic music filling the stadium and a barbecue supplied by Corangamite Shire Council.
