Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart_Valley_Roller_Derby:
Stuttgart Valley Roller Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Stuttgart. Founded in 2006, the league currently consists of two teams which compete against teams from other leagues. Stuttgart is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The league was the second to be founded in Europe, in the same month as the London Rollergirls, founded in April 2006. The leagues did not initially know about the formation of each other. As it was the first roller derby league in Germany, it initially bouted against teams from the UK. The SVRG played the London Rockin' Rollers in November 2007, in the first public bout in Europe between two leagues and in June 2009 the first all German game against Barock City Roller Derby. Other leagues began appearing in Germany in 2008 and 2009, with Stuttgart giving particular assistance to Bear City Roller Derby in organising itself. The Zurich Rollergirlz credit Stuttgart with helping organise Switzerland's first roller derby information meeting. The first German Championship was held in December 2010 in Berlin, Stuttgart beating Bear City Roller Derby 128–124 in the final. In October 2011, Stuttgart entered the WFTDA Apprentice Program, and it became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2013.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincolnshire_Bombers_Roller_Derby:
Lincolnshire Bombers Roller Derby is a flat track roller derby league, based in Lincoln, England. Lincolnshire is a member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Established in 2008 as the Lincolnshire Bombers Roller Girls, the league was named in homage to Lincolnshire's RAF history. It started out with five members, including long-term director and founder Emma Tremlett (derby name She'za Payne). Later that year, the league had grown to 25 members, enabling them to start their first roller derby season in 2009. The Bombers were one of the founding members of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA). The league remains a member of the UKRDA, but no longer has any members serving on the board of directors.
