Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://www.londonrockinrollers.co.uk:
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!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Nations_Roller_Derby_Championships:
The Five Nations Roller Derby Championships is an annual competition for roller derby leagues in the United Kingdom. The tournament originated as the End of the World Series, a 2012 league of six roller derby teams in central England. The success of this competition led it to expand in 2013 under the new name of the Heartland Series, with twelve teams in two division, and it doubled in size again in 2014. In 2021, the competition rebranded as the Five Nations Roller Derby Championships. In 2015, the tournament partnered with the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and was renamed as the British Roller Derby Championships. This greatly expanded competition consisted of 72 teams playing across several tiers, making it the largest roller derby competition in Europe. For the first time, it accepted teams from across the UK, including a separate competition for men's teams.
