Shakes, rattle and roll! – by Ella-GNAW

And boy, was this a hotly anticipated event or what? After spending most of the afternoon making my [...]

To 2011 – The Year of the Siren – Jenna Tail’ya

The conversation in the beginning of 2011 went something like this;
“Should we try to have a home bout this year and see what happens?”
“Yeah, we could give it a bash. If it all goes wrong we’ll leave it for a bit.”
“To 2011 – the year of the Siren!”
“THE YEAR OF THE SIREN!”
And what a year [...]

Seaside Sirens Christmas Party (in which Pooh discovers the Sirens should get their own clubhouse)

This has been the longed for event in our calendars since our last bout, the thing that we’ve been discussing A LOT with each other. Not the planning of the event specifically, that fell to Force Ten Gail, Murder Monroe, Laura Biting Citizen and Doris Gay, but of the nitty gritty, the important ‘little’ things.
What [...]

Oh Canadaaaaaa!

Last weekend (December 1st – 4th)  saw the very first Roller Derby World Cup; teams from thirteen countries travelled to Toronto for [...]

Macey/DC – For those about to block, we salute you!

Y’know that roller skating phase that everyone had when they were a kid?  Well I never had that.  To be honest the first time I put a pair of skates on was in January this year.  And that fact is all I can currently think of. – Why?  Because in 30 seconds I’m about to [...]

Freshmeat Week 5 – Lucy Benn

I hadn’t skated for two weeks and felt a tad sick, not sure if this was nerves or Pete’s cooking. I must admit I was kinda thinking about wimping out but once my skates were on I felt quite confident with only a slight feeling of sickness (definitely Pete’s cooking!).
As we had no training over [...]

Freshmeat Week 4 – Lucy Benn

Well I managed to go skating 4 days last week and I did fall over in style! Bruising some ribs and my hip but hey it gave Pete and the kids something to laugh at.
Thankfully there was no ’10 minutes of hell’ this week, just some warm up skating plus practising the stops and falls [...]
