RocknRoller Disco Schools/Club Package

"RocknRoller Disco swept into Pennthorpe and provided the most memorable Christmas party our senior children (Years 6-8) have ever had. The staff were all excellent and the afternoon flew past in a whirl of whole group participation games, high energy music and neon glow sticks. There really was something for everyone and while our experienced skaters were quickly able to express themselves, our beginners soon found their feet and picked up the pace. Some of our braver staff too took to the circuit, but even those who didn't marveled at how well organized everything was and just how disciplined the whole experience was (I think we'd expected some kind of scrum!). RocknRoller really did think of everything, from their meticulous pre-visit risk assessment and planning to the brilliant prizes and merchandise on offer on the day. They even retrieved all the safety equipment the children had worn and managed the impossible task of matching a multitude of different sized shoes to their proper owners before the end. They were in and out in an afternoon leaving nothing but fantastic memories of an experience our children will not forget in a hurry. I would have no hesitation in recommending RocknRoller Disco to any similar school or venue."
Mr. Matthew King, Pennthorpe School

Introduction

Our aim is to provide a professional, safe roller event for your organisation tailored to your specific needs and budget. Our experience has shown that expectations and requirements vary dramatically. We will format the event to your specific requirements:

Split sessions to incorporate more than one class/age-group/ability.
Simple School Roller Disco.
Roller activity session consisting of games and competitions to encourage movement, improve balance, skating skills and interaction.
A mixture of the 2. (This is our most popular option and a proven success at our public events)

What We Provide

Venue Risk Assessment
Prior to arranging any public or private event, RocknRoller will carry out an inspection of the venue and assess its suitability and safety. If it is deemed to be unsuitable or safety concerns cannot be addressed an alternative venue would be sought.

Full Equipment Provision
We not only provide quad skates, fully tested, but also full safety equipment including wrist guards, knee and elbow pads. We also hold a limited number of helmets if required. Whilst not compulsory, we do recommend that inexperienced skaters wear wrist guards as a minimum requirement.

DJ and Lighting
We provide our own sound and lighting equipment, all regularly PAT tested and checked. For most children's events Paul will personally be the DJ and activities organiser.

Staff
We have a pool of experienced, CRB-checked staff we can provide if required. For schools events, especially during the school day we encourage teachers to assist in the fitting of safety equipment (we would fully brief them prior to the event. The equipment has been selected with ease of fitting in mind.) By providing their own staff, this greatly reduces the costs to the School.

Skate Marshals

We do not profess to be skate teachers, but we ensure that at every event organised we have competent skaters on hand to give guidance and direction so that participants can enjoy the skating experience safely. Many of our staff have skated for over 15 - 20 years and several of our younger marshals are competitive street and inline skaters.

Costings

Costings are based upon a one hour forty-five minute duration roller disco and include set-up and skate-return times.

Additional time spent on site for further sessions will be charged at a reduced hourly rate according to skate-group size.

Up to 100 Skaters	From £400.00	(£4.00 per skater)
Up to 150 Skaters	From £560.00	(£3.75 per skater)
Up to 200 Skaters	From £700.00	(£3.50 per skater)

Full Day Rates

RocknRoller can be hired for the day/night for a pre-arranged fee. A cost-effective solution for schools wishing to offer separate Roller Discos for a number of years/groups or larger fundraising events.

Fundraising Ideas.

As you will see in the costings table, our prices are based on the number of skaters at each event. The main opportunity for schools to raise much-needed revenue is through ticket sales, though additional revenue through charging a small fee for spectators, drinks, merchandise sales and raffles/auctions on the day can actually exceed these. (Paul would conduct the auction on the organiser's behalf if required.)When estimating potential sales, bear in mind that we are a FAMILY Roller Disco, so can cater for parents and carers as well as just the children, greatly increasing potential ticket sales.

Example 1

100 tickets sold for 1 session @ £6.50 per skater	£650.00
RocknRoller Cost	£400.00
Ticket Profits	£250.00

(£6.50 is a guide price. Some family events last year were charging £7.50 - £10.00 per session and did not include FULL equipment hire)

Additional fundraising opportunities include providing drinks, merchandise (glow sticks, leg warmers, sweatbands, long socks are huge sellers at our public events) RocknRoller can offer bulk purchase deals and even provide an illuminated shop sign for you free or charge! We could also offer passes to our public events as raffle prizes.

Example 2

400 tickets (2 sessions) @ £6.50 per skater	£2,600.00
RocknRoller Cost	£1,100.00
Ticket Profits	£1,500.00

Drinks/merchandise etc.For larger events, to limit the organisers' initial outlay, RocknRoller would be willing to provide the shop and arrange to return a percentage of all profits to the organisers.

Frequently Asked Questions

“What ages is it suitable for?”
Our skates range from a junior size 8 to adult size 12 and our pads are designed to cover those size ranges. Our youngest skaters have been 3 years old and the grandparents can regularly be seen skating at our public events.

“Won't the skates damage our flooring?”
No. We use soft, non-marking urethane wheels which NEVER get used outside or on unsuitable surfaces. These skates are regularly checked for damage. Prior to all events at new venues, suitability of the flooring and surrounding areas are checked as part of the Risk Assessment amendment procedure.

Are RocknRoller Insured?
Yes. We have full public and property liability insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London. Certificate available upon request.

Are your staff experienced?
Yes. All of our adult staff are fully CRB checked. Our younger members of staff attend local colleges and have worked for us since company inception. We even run a work experience programme with a local school. Our marshals are all experienced skaters, many of whom have skated for over 20 years.

“Our aim is to develop long-term relationships with schools, clubs and charitable organisations. Charging unrealistic prices and failing to meet expectations is not an option for us.”
