Squat skating rules!

28 05 2008

Last night we got our skates on in the newly squatted Mill Road Social Centre – formerly the Wilco and almost Tesco. It’s pretty big, once all the furniture’s out of the way. Not quite big enough for a track, but still room to skate. Our Romsey Town neighbours walking past the enormous front window seemed to like the look of Roller Derby - and with dogs running around inside, we got to practice fulfilling the WFTDA basic skills requirement 4.5: Unexpected Obstacles. Result.

Derby love to all the excellent photographers hanging out at the Centre last night!

If you want to join us for the next skate at the Mill Road Social Centre, watch this space for the next date – and see the I WANT IN page for the skinny on joining in.





Rollerbilly bust up for Bizarre magazine

It’s hard making team decisions.. first we argued about what our team colours should be (we ‘agreed’ on zombie green and leopard print), then we came to blows over our photoshoot for Bizarre. Luckily, we look pretty good fighting.





Rollerbillies back in Romsey!

25 05 2008

Thanks to the newly created Mill Road Social Centre, the Romsey Town Rollerbillies now have a training venue in Romsey. We’re excited to be able to skate on our doorsteps (not literally) and to meet new people interested in Roller Derby.

We’ll be training Tuesday night from 6-9pm. Space is going to be a bit tight, but we’ll be creative. If you want to find out more about us, or think you might need to become a rollergirl, then we’ll see you there!
