Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaside_Siren_Roller_Girls:
The Seaside Siren Roller Girls (SSRG) was a roller derby league based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, in England. Founded in 2009, the league consists of two teams, which compete against teams from other leagues. Seaside is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The league was founded in November 2009 by six skaters who had formerly skated with another league, but wanted to play closer to their home town. The league began practising on Canvey Island, and had fourteen skaters by early 2010. It played its first bout in April 2011, when it faced the Norfolk Brawds. In June 2012, the Seaside Sirens were accepted as a member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association, while in October 2013, they were accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme. Seaside became a full member of the WFTDA in January 2016. The team were officially disbanded in 2018 following a shortage of players.

We are a roller derby league based in London. We are full members of WFTDA and UKRDA. One of the oldest leagues in Europe, the London Rockin’ Rollers played the UK’s first Interleague scrimmage with the Birmingham Blitz Dames and Europe’s first Interleague bout against Stuttgart Valley Roller Girlz. Three Rockin’ Rollers and one Referee played and officiated at the first ever Roller Derby World Cup in 2011. Since then there has been many a Rockin’ Roller skater who participated for their national teams at the Roller Derby World Cups in 2014 and more recently in 2018. For anyone watching the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony you could spot 13 Rockin’ Rollers dressed as roller skating NHS nurses (and one dementor) and we have featured in many media articles, documentaries, photo shoots, music videos, live events and more!
