Grand Slam season Finale, Fund-raiser and me...
Lots of news!
First of all, tomorrow is the LRG's Birthday Party Fund-raiser bash, at The Gaff on Holloway Road.
We are 3 years old! Come and eat cake, dance and be merry with the roller girls.
Secondly, the season finale is coming up fast, on the 25th April either the Suffra Jets or the Steam Rollers1 will be crowned champions, winners of the first ever roller derby home season in the UK.
BUT there's more! It will also be the UK's first double header game - with the Ultraviolent Femmes taking on Barock City!
Double the derby for your money, how can you resist? It will be an amazing and exciting day, if you've not yet made it to a bout you really should try to make this one, it is going to be spectacular.
And I get to play for my team again, woo!
tickets and information here
Buying in advance is strongly recommended as we sold out completely last time.
On a personal level, I have been working REALLY HARD to make my team proud of me, and to try and be a help rather than a hindrance on the track. I really feel like I am making progress, slow, for sure, but progress none-the-less, and I remain astonished that I stick with it when I am not IMMEDIATELY AMAZING the way I give up on everything else I find difficult. I have also been braving the outside world on skates, thanks to Fox Sake2 loaning me some outdoor wheels, and today I skated from my house all the way to the house of Mr Twisted3, up and down kerbs, over roads and some particularly shonky pavements of dark Hackney alleyways.
There had also been the super exciting first home bout for our London Derby Sisters, the London Rockin' Rollers, playing the Glasgow Rollergirls Travel Team - the Irn Bruisers4.
For a write up of this, I hand you over to the significantly superior prose of Mollie Cosh of the Romsey Rollerbillies whose write-ups are always spot on5
More to come soon about floors, wheels, parks, Nicole Kidman,and the UK's first6 Roller Derby Tournament!
