On Saturday, May 16, 1998... The Bladium In-Line Hockey Stadium hosted: The Second Annual SFSkaters Swap Meet Bladium is located at 1050 Third Street in San Francisco. Click here for a cool interactive map. Last Year's SFSkaters Swap Meet was a great success with over 300 attendees. Check out some %link17 _6% from last year's Swap Meet. People found Hockey, Recreational and Speedskating equipment for sale or trade at unbelievable prices! Last year there were so many door prizes that 1/3 of the attendees won at least one! There will be more people this year so we're trying to get even more door prizes... This year we had enough door prizes that everyone who was still there at the end got one! The SFSkaters Swap Meet was originally created by Howard Cohen (founder of the SFSkaters mailing list) and Anna Stubbs, co-founder of the Roller Divas Women's Skating Club.

Share the Joy		Last year over 55 pairs of used skates were donated at the Swap Meet to CORA's Skate Against Violence campaign. Donated skates are refurbished and given to kids who couldn't otherwise afford them. We didn't beat that number this year, partly because attendance was lower, and partly because many of the regulars who came had already donated their old skates. Thanks to everyone wo did make a donation. Lets try for more next year.
Door Prizes		Last year there was an impressive list of door prize donors. This year times are harder in the in-line skating industry, but we still got plenty of donations. Many thanks to those companies who continue to support us even in these harder times. Asics T-Shirts, etc. TBD. Bladium In-Line Hockey Stadium A cool hockey stick. BTU Stoker One Case of stoker bars -- that's 8 boxes! Hyper T-shirts, etc. Marina Skate and Snowboard One set of wheels and two hockey sticks.
