Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://severnrollertorrent.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/our-first-practise:
"Open Roller Derby Practise in Gloucester! Join us for a taste of the action of roller derby! We will be practicing skating skills, safe falls, and have loads of games to start you on the path to a mean roller derby future. Wear something you can move in, and bring water. The practice is £5 to cover the cost of the hall, and a limited number of hire skates are available on a first-come, first-served basis for £1.50 (you may want to come with an extra pair of socks in case we don’t have your ideal size). Please bring some elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, and a helmet if you can. Please let us know if you plan to attend. See you there! SRT"
