What?

Under the name of "Longboard Camp Sts. Kozma and Damyan" Varna Skate Club is throwing a two-day competition and fun event for riders and fans from around the country.

The road leading from the town of Kuklen to the Sts. Kozma and Damyan Monastery (15 km from Plovdiv) will be the track for downhill races and slide sessions, while the main focus of the event will be raising safety awareness among riders.

Join the crew in the first weekend of August and help make it a great happening:

5 August, Friday, 14:00 - 18:00

• help prepare and secure the track - sweep the road, position hay bales and security nets;
• help carry the sound equipment.

It would be best if you can arrive in Kuklen before noon to attend the staff meeting and security briefing.

6-7 August, during the competition

• help supervise safety and make sure people do not cross the track;
• rearrange track zones (in case of crashes);
• assist with keeping scores;
• remove safety equipment after the event.

Volunteers will not be kept later than 21:00 on 7 August, Sunday.
