Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Windsor_Roller_Derby:
Royal Windsor Roller Derby (RWRD) was a flat track roller derby league based in Berkshire, England. Founded in 2007 as Royal Windsor Roller Girls, RWRD was Berkshire's first roller derby league and one of the first in the UK. The league trained in Ascot and played its home games at Windsor Leisure Centre. RWRD was a member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The team announced it had played its last game on 5 November 2023.
Royal Windsor Rollergirls had only five skaters and one referee when it was founded in September 2007, but grew rapidly and had 40 members by April 2010. They played their first bout in 2009, at the Wycombe Sports Centre in nearby Buckinghamshire, which was attended by more than 350 people. The league was a founder member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association in 2010. In July 2011, Royal Windsor Rollergirls joined the WFTDA Apprentice Program, and became a full member in June 2012. The league continued to be active both regionally and internationally, competing in the British Roller Derby Championships in 2015-2018 and European tournaments such as "Slip It" 2018. Windsor created the concept of Sur5al in 2012, which is a short-form version of roller derby. The league won the Community Club of the Year award, voted for by the public, at the fifth annual Get Berkshire Active Awards in 2017. In October 2018, Royal Windsor Rollergirls changed their name to Royal Windsor Roller Derby.
