Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://glasgowrollerderby.org:
Glasgow Roller Girls were the first flat track roller derby league to be established in Scotland and the fourth in the UK. Founding members Teri Toxic and Mistress Malicious drummed up interest through MySpace and the first training session took place on Sunday 29th April 2007. GRG rebranded in 2012 as Glasgow Roller Derby. Fifteen years on from that first GRG training session, Glasgow Roller Derby continues to move from strength to strength while remaining true to its roots as a DIY club. Everyone involved in the club is a volunteer, and everything – training, recruitment, fundraising, merchandising, paperwork, and all of the other aspects of keeping a large and diverse organisation running smoothly - is entirely in the hands of the skaters, referees, and non-skating officials of GRD.

Newcastle Roller Derby (UK) is a flat track roller derby league from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The league is a member of both the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), and plays by the WFTDA ruleset. Newcastle Roller Girls was established in 2009[5] by Claire Byrne (Brie Larceny). The league has three teams: the Canny Belters (A team), the Whippin' Hinnies (B team) and the North Cs (C team). The league follows the WFTDA gender statement. Home games are played at the Walker Dome and Benfield Sports Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. In March 2010, the team featured in a BBC Look North report on roller derby in Tyneside. They were featured in a BBC article on roller derby in the northeast in the same year. Their first bout was away at Hadrian's Brawl on 11 April 2010, playing against the B team from the Auld Reekie Roller Girls at the Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh. Their first home bout, Flog on the Tyne, was against Granite City Roller Girls on 5 March 2011 at The Lightfoot Centre (now The Walker Activity Dome) in Walker, Newcastle. The home team won by 113 to 63. In November 2011, Newcastle Roller Girls joined the UK Roller Derby Association. In October 2013, they were accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme. Newcastle became a full WFTDA member league in July 2014. In February 2020, the league rebranded from Newcastle Roller Girls to Newcastle Roller Derby.
