Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_Roller_Derby:
Norfolk Roller Derby (NRD) are a flat track roller derby league based in Norwich, England and were the first roller derby team to form within the county. Initially playing as The Norfolk Brawds, they changed their name to Norfolk Roller Derby in 2019. While not a member, the league uses the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) ruleset. ... The league was formed in 2010 and is entirely owned and run democratically by its members. The Norfolk Brawds competed their first full season of bouting in 2012. In January 2012 the team announced their first major sponsor, local rock stars The Darkness. On 4 August 2012 The Norfolk Brawds held their first "open door" home event at the UEA Sportspark. At the event, they served their own real ale, Bonny’s Gold, made for them by the local Golden Triangle Brewery. The Brawds made their debut in their first major championship "The Heartland Series", the competition which became the British Roller Derby Championships, in 2013. NRD joined the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association in 2013, but announced their departure from the organisation in December 2018 due to a dispute around grievance resolution.
