Also it would be very nice the play the Catchskating game with your group! I visited your web site, it was very cool! Do you think it would be possible to arrange the game with Russian skaters either on Saturday or Sunday?

Dear guests! I've just read a post by Kid Butterz who wrote that you're gonna visit Moscow on the 6th,7th,8th of July.

We'll be very glad to introduce you the game (if you need that introduction, of course) and arrange the party.

Just give us the details. How many people are there in your group?
Do you have a team? Do you want to play with
the top-players? Or just want to have some fun
with different-level catchskaters?

We really like your wish to play with us!

Waiting for your reply

Hi Ivan & Kid Butterz!

thanks for your message, that's great!

yes, I talked with Kid Butterz about the catchskating game and that sounds excellent and we definitely want to play the game!

currently there are 6 skaters of us with varying skating skills coming to Moscow, so we fit better to the category "just want to have some fun with different-level catchskaters"..

this means (as I understand?) we do not have a whole team to play. how many members should one team have? maybe it is better to create mixed teams with Russian skaters? (3 of us have good skating skills, 3 basic skills)

I suggest that we have a catchskating game session on Saturday afternoon 7th July. where do you play? (Park Popedy?) and combined with playing it would be nice to have picnic, meet and talk with Russian skaters / players and also to see the top-players in action, if possible.

what do you think or suggest? please reply and then we will fix the date&time&place and other arrangements needed.

nice to hear from you, sounds cool!

Happy skating, Petri

Well, there'll be no problem for us to create a 6-average-level-players-team and arrange Russia-Finland Catchskating Match.

We can play three rounds.
In each round there'll be two games:
1)Russia catches Finland (3 vs 6), (time: 5 min or less)
2)Finland catches Russia (3 vs 6), (time: 5 min or less)
There'll be a winner in each round.
And after three rounds we will identify the winner of the match.

I can give more details later

6 players is quite enough for the whole team

Well, it's up to you. But I think it would be better to play Russia-Finland Match with 6 players in the team.
And after the match we can play all together
and then have the party, talk and so on.

Ok, arranging the party on the 7th of July afternoon. What time would you like? I suggest something about 16:00, or 18:00, but not later.

Yes, we play in Park Pobedy - there's a metro station with the same name, we can meet you.

Waiting for your answer

Hi Ivan!

thanks for your answer, the plan sounds excellent!

yeah, the Finnish - Russian teams is the thing to do! let's try fix it (all of our skaters are not so good).. if we need support from Russian players to the Finnish team, I hope we can do it then on the fly.

the start time 16.00 for the event sounds really good. then we have good time to play and have picnic / chat afterwards. I hope we are not too tired if we have been skating the whole night before which Kid Butterz have been arranging!

Park Popedy is nice, I visited there by skates in June, when I was there in Moscow..

how we should arrange the picnic food and drinks? our group will have a car in use, so we will bring food, snacks, beer and maybe Ruskii Shampanskoe!

Cheers, Petri

Good, Petri,

Ok, I start arranging
Russia-Finland match on the 7th of July, 16:00.

We'll create mixed teams if there are some troubles.

As for food & drinks I think there'll be no problem.

Concerning Shampanskoe: I don't drink alcohol at all

Hope to see you soon

P.S. I wrote you a private message. Please, check it out

Great!!!!!!!

sounds really good! we are also fixing our team for the trip today / tomorrow and then ordering train tickets!

I sent my contact to your email as well.

CU soon and laters more!
