Blood & Thunder UK Camp

So, this was going to be a piece to tell you all that tickets have now gone on sale for the awesome Blood & Thunder UK Camp set to hit Birmingham over next year's May Bank Holiday weekend, however ...
in the space of the two days it has taken me to transmit Twisted Mister's message to you all ... the Camp is SOLD OUT!

Awesome response from everyone - hopefully this will mean that Blood & Thunder will be running more events in the near future!


Congrats Central City Rollergirls for organising the weekend, can't wait to hear all about it next May!

Grange Hell School Report

Last weekend Central City Rollergirls hosted the Grange Hell Skate Academy in Birmingham  ... here's what Lincolnshire Bombers ' May-Q Dizzy had to say about her trip back to school!


After all the hype and Derby-fuelled anticipation, this event could have easily disappointed, but I am pleased to say that Grange Hell actually managed to exceed all my expectations!

Upon entering the foyer of Cocks Moor Woods Leisure Centre the atmosphere was electric, with the clang of skate cases knocking together and excited Roller Girls darting about like toddlers in a playground.

Lessons started in earnest at 11am.  These included perfecting the basics, tactical drills, endurance, Jammmer skills, and technique. Not to forget the mandatory sit ups and press ups, and optional instruction in Bonnie D. Stroir classics such as “the waitress” and the “power slide/ hockey stop”. 


Those attending were split into two groups, and then these groups were continually rotated between the two coaches.  Both Estro Jen and Bonnie D. Stroir were exceptionally knowledgeable, and happy to pass on any and all pearls of wisdom. Their passion for the sport was evident in everything they did. Plus the coaches' physique was second to none.  Most students left the Bootcamp with the new mantra ……. “I WILL have a butt like Estro Jen's!”

Throughout the weekend everyone involved was highly motivated to ensure we all gained as much as possible from their experience. With their encouraging and helpful demeanours the Central City Roller girls and guys made this a weekend never to forget.

The after party was a collection of like minds, where everyone reviewed the days events, with a little or a lot of alcohol thrown in for good measure. There was lively dancing, karaoke was sung with varying levels of success and drunken Roller Girl antics went on late into the night.

This was a must-attend spectacle and for those who couldn't make it, do not fear ... Central City Roller girls will be hosting t he Blood and Thunder  Bootcamp on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd of May 2010. 


Make sure you get a ticket as this event is guaranteed to be just as amazing. 
Thanks and Good Luck to all at CCR.
