It’s delightful seeing derby people back on their skates again! We’re still continuing to review data following the latest change in restrictions, and will be back as soon as we can. 🛼🛡⚔️
Brief update on RTP following WFTDA announcement - just as we’ve met vaccine requirements our positive test rate has increased outside of threshold. 😭 However, we’re not out by much and we’re hoping that’ll trend back down so we can get back skating soon! 🛼🛡⚔️
We’re just in the process of figuring out where we stand in relation to the updated WFTDA return to play guidance - in the meantime here’s a meme featuring one of our recruitment slogans. 😂🛼🛡⚔️
Not that we’re heading back yet because of case rates still being high, but this is what we imagine it will be like when it happens. 😂🛼🛡⚔️
Even though laps aren’t really a thing anymore, we’re still going to celebrate 27/5 as Laps Day. 😂🛼🛡⚔️
A break from cynicism with a nice wholesome meme - we honestly can’t wait to get back to spreading the joy of roller derby to new skaters!🛼🛡⚔️
Sadly cases are still too high in our regions to start on return to play, but it’s encouraging seeing some teams in the UK able to start training again. 🛼🛡⚔️
Normally hearing “you can go outside or sit in the crowd” wouldn’t be a good thing, but after the last year… 🥺 🛼🛡⚔️
With some derbyversaries coming round, now seems as good a time as any to reflect on that first game confusion. 😂🛼🛡⚔️
Hearing the other jammer get lead and then assessed for a penalty has got to be one of the worst feelings ever. 🥺🛼🛡⚔️
Being vaccinated does NOT mean you can sneak off to the big city and lie about your age to join a roller derby league rather than competing in beauty pagents.
