I speak on behalf of LRG and all my new rollergirl chums in saying thank you for making boot camp such a great day. In true rollergirl form we played hard and partied even harder… but more of the booze talk later.
The turnout was superb and the warm-up felt like a agility drill in itself skating round so many people! We then split into three main groups: the refs, beginners (who got skills training on good skating form and how to stop and fall), and the more advanced skaters confident in taking a tumble or two who focused on main drills. We all got our sweat on then took a breather and flocked around Mother Hen Bette for skate maintenance.

We then scrimmaged for 2 hours – it was a lot of fun playing with girls from other leagues and major ‘bigups’ to the newer skaters who gave it their all and showed outstanding potential (remember my kind words ladies when you’re ready for bouting and go gentle on not so vicious El).

Then onto booze camp and the excellent quiz! (Yes you are all right in thinking that Russia has the world longest railway line but the question asked for all the lines conglomerated so that would be the USA… you gotsa listen to the question carefully.) The pub quiz was a lotta fun, and who cares who wins (congrats MMR!) so long as Oreo balls are shared lovingly. Dot, Feral and Bambi you’re superstars and I can’t wait for round two.
As a league we have had fantastic feedback on the whole day and LRG had the most wonderful time hosting you all, thank you again for coming, is great to have met so many like-minded women, and roll on the next get-together.

It couldn’t have happened without you: Bedford Bandits, Birmingham Blitz Derby Dames, Central City Rollergirls, Glasgow Rollergirls, London Rockin Rollers, Middlesbrough Milk Rollers, Stockholm Bastards and Windsor Roller Derby. Thank you!
