MuRDer in the DARK - An MRD fundraiser

I must apologise - it's been deathly quiet around here of late... but then again, we've been super busy!

Little bit late I know, but Carry on Jamming scores went a little like this: Manchester Roller Derby 115 - 108 Newcastle Roller Girls, Campers 112 - 69 Cruisers. It was a great day, if super sweltering - but we mustn't grumble when we actually get nice weather and it was so lovely to meet the lasses of NRG's Whippin' Hinnies.

Happy Campers and Cruisers! (photo: Jason Ruffell)

What a strange bunch... (photo: Shirlaine Forrest)

Last Saturday we bouted in Grantham against Lincolnshire Bombers' established travel team, The Bombshell Bruisers - and did ourselves proud! It was a close game, with only seven points in it at half-time and the final score settled at LBRG 145 - 128 MRD. I was so proud of how the team really came together and it was a massively enjoyable game. Big thanks to LBRG for being fantastic hosts.

COMING UP...

We're hosting a fundraiser!

Friday 2nd September <-- Get this date in your diaries (actually, it's less than two weeks away... just make sure you're there!)

We're hosting a fundraiser to try and physically get us to Aberdeen to play the mighty Granite City Roller Girls at the end of September.

Not only will we have some of Manchester's finest bands in the form of Bisonhammer and Dangerous Aces, but the amazing Upside Down Ladies will also be showing off their pole dancing skills.

Come and try our very own cocktail 'Rink Splash', watch some awesome bands, marvel at flexible ladies, get to know some skaters and throw on your glad rags for a chance to win a prize.

The dress theme is 1940s/film noir. So guys - don your spats, braces and fedoras, and dolls - work those big curls, red lips and sultry dresses

Doors open at 7pm, first band at 8pm. £4 entry @ Base Bar, 42 Charles Street, Manchester, M1 7DB (near the BBC building on Oxford Road and where Po Na Na used to be).

VERY EXCITED!


See you all there :)
