VENUE SOS!
London Roller Derby is in dire straits following the closure of our home venue Bridge Park Community Centre in Stonebridge.
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 by 27 metres. This is roughly equivalent to a full sized basketball court with a 1 meter 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. However spongy or lino type floors are not! Trust us, its like skating through treacle… yum though!
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 12 week block booking
