The Rollers Parade: it's him!

30,000 skaters and 100,000 spectators was the turnout for the 2002 Rollers Parade. This year, the City of Brussels is doing it again, this time with participants from the provinces! Last year, the experiment was bold: "Along with the mayor and the police chief, we traveled to Paris to see how our French friends had organized this event," recalls Carl de Moncharline, the initiator of this event. "I must thank the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Brussels, who recognized the value of this event." After "Brussels rollers", make way for "Belgium rollers"! Indeed, this season, more than seven cities will take part in the experience. Specifically, during the two summer months coinciding with student holidays, people will be able to roller-skate in one city per day for sixty days, as Mons, Hasselt, Namur, Ghent, Liège, and Koksijde have joined the movement. In Brussels, join in every Friday during the summer school holidays at 9:00 p.m. All safely supervised by police officers forming a squad of "Rollers cops"! Information: www.belgiumrollers.com
