Volunteers needed for our Early Birdy Tournament in Prescott
Posted on February 3, 2020
By now you MUST know about our big 10 game, 3 day Round-Robin Tournament being held in the National Capital Region this March: Early Birdy 2020!
We’re very excited to bring more high-level competitive Roller Derby to Prescott, Ontario as the community welcomed us very warmly in April 2019 when our All-Stars hosted a team all the way from Belgium.
OVRD is coming back to the Leo Boivin Community Centre, (444 Prince St, Prescott, ON) the weekend of March 20-22, 2020 and we’re bringing 3 other leagues from Ontario: Royal City (Guelph), TORD (Toronto), and Tri-City (Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge)
Seeking Volunteers:
We’re looking for volunteers willing to help out the weekend of March 20th – 22nd. If you volunteer for just two shifts of 2 hrs each you’ll get a weekend pass to watch the rest of the tournament for free! Students if you are interest in earning some volunteer hours and being part of something cool, sign-up today. No experience is necessary! We’ll work with you to figure out the best position.
Seeking Announcers:
If you’d be willing to lend us your voice, and understand the rules and regulations of Roller Derby somewhat we invite you to apply as an announcer:
