On Saturday 6th October 2012, Newcastle Roller Girls joined together to pack bags at Sainsburys in Monkseaton.
A big thank you to Sainsburys who were extremely kind and accommodating, and to all the lovely shoppers who allowed us to carefully pack their bags giving generously to our cause. The grand total of 512 pounds will go towards finding us a new venue to bout in. Thank you to all involved!
AHOY THERE ME MATIES! Newcastle Roller Girls proudly invite you to the most exciting event of the year!
The 22nd September will see the mighty Newcastle Roller Girls take on the brave buccaneers Middlesbrough Milk Rollers, with two friendly local teams this will surely prove to be the event of the year! Forget football’s Newcastle V Sunderland, this bout will have the north split in two!
Tickets can be bought in advance (with a little cheeky discount) through PayPal using the link below or at the door on the day, doors open at 12:30, make sure you get there early for those sought after suicide seats!
Venue: The Walker Activity Dome (formerly The Lightfoot Centre), Wharrier Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE6 3BR
Between October and January our regular practice and bouting venue, The Lightfoot/Walker Dome, will be closed for some refurbishment work, so we’re looking for a new venue that could take us on during that period.
We have two regular practises each week (Wednesday 7pm – 9.30pm and Sunday 2.30pm – 4.30pm) which we will need to accommodate elsewhere for the duration of the refurbishment work, as well as two scheduled bouts:
Saturday 20 October 2012
Saturday 15 December 2012
On bout days we ideally need the access to the hall/space from 11am until around 5pm.
Our requirements are:
The track we use is oval and is 62 feet by 46 feet. For practises we then need additional space around the side of this of at least 1 foot.
For our public bouts we will need a hall that is 100×100 feet, including seating space for our audience. We usually bring in around 300-400 people to our bouts.
If you’re a venue owner and you think you could accommodate us, or if you have any ideas for venues that we could try, please email us at newcastlerollergirls@gmail.com
