first practice

First practice went great, about 12 of us showed up and by the end of the session everyone was skating around (some more wobbly than others, but all skating) and no one fell down YAY!

Trying to sort out second practice now, hopefully they let us have the venue again, but am still waiting for confirmation.  Keep getting contacted by more girls interested in getting involved which is amazing.  It was great fun (although i did feel muscles i haven’t felt before the next day )

looking forward to next thursday and then carnival of the strange at the weekend……

slacking off and sorting out first practice

I have been rubbish of late sorting things out, but i am trying to make up for it all today

as a result, i have a venue for the first notts roller girls practice sorted – 12th Nov, Take 1, Nottingham.  I have invited most of the ladies who are interested via facebook.  I have looked into different organisational structures for the team.  Considering Not for Profit, Limited Company, Community Amateur Sports Teams and now i am going to write a constitution and apply for some funding.

I also need to figure out how i apply for a bank account and get some formal books sorted before i start collecting subs off people for practice.  Do i need receipts to give to people when they pay me subs?  (will collect them for money paid out)  oh the nonsense involved in setting this thing up is crazy – the skating seems to be fading into the background! .

Well, at least once the practices are established, then it will all start to get a bit easier (i hope).  So, the whole thing kicks off next week.  Bit worried about how little time i have spent on skates of late, but if regular practices are put in place this will help (also the fear of looking like a complete tit in front of all the others, will inspire me to spend some more time with slippery wheels strapped to me).

Wish i understood more about everything involved, it takes so much time to research and find it all out.
