VENUE SOS!
London Roller Derby is in dire straits following the closure of Bridge Park Community Centre in Stonebridge where we have trained regularly for over 10 years.
Unfortunately finding available suitable venues has always been a struggle for us and so we are desperately seeking help in finding an alternative!
Requirements
Size
A roller derby track takes up a sizeable amount of space and so not every hall will be able to safely fit (Nobody wants to go flying into a wall on roller skates!)
The hall needs to be about 540 metres squared, 20 metres wide by 27 metres long.
This is roughly equivalent to a full sized basketball court with a 4 metre buffer or six badminton courts.
Floor
Unfortuantely being a flat surface isn’t the only requirement for the floor.
Polished concrete or wooden sports hall type floors are great!
Spongy floors not so great. Lino is unique and varies in its skateability.
If you are unsure if your floor is suitable, we can come along and do a floor testing.
Location
We have skaters travel from all over London and its outskirts and so need good transport links.
Ideally with parking (street is fine) and within a 15 minute walk of a station/underground
Availability
Our previous training schedule was 5 hours every Sunday 12-5pm and 2 hours every Thursday 7.30 - 9.30pm
We can be flexible with these times and days. We normally make a 10 week block booking
