| we 18 ja 12 |  We were back in Cambridge Sunday, this time to shoot the Billies for Leadjammer magazine and to see the Billies play choochoos.
|
| sa 14 ja 12 |  ♫ With a sound like a charging rhinoceros bass guitarist Jack Bruce is going out on the road again including the Cambridge Corn Exchange in March. In his BIG blues band is trombonist Winston Rollins ... who looks to us suspiciously like Dennis Rollins.
|
| th 12 ja 12 | Last Sunday we travelled to Cambridge to see hosts the Romsey Town Rollerbillies scrimmage against the MK Concrete Cows and it was well worth the effort. |
| mo 28 no 11 | Saturday we went to Southend to see the Seaside Sirens bifurcate into Guns and Roses for their first intra-league bout, and first time for us man derby from Southern Discomfort and Lincolnshire Rolling Thunder. Blimey! Man derby is 100 mile an hour stuff with very BIG hits and a 'loose' skating style that includes lots of skating backwards and some running backwards on your toes ... but still that roller derby quirkyness. |
| su 6 no 11 | Yesterday one Norfolk Brawds' car wouldn't start, another Brawd left her contact lenses behind, in Houghton Regis the satnav decided to send  the 50 seater down a tiny lane that had a locked gate across it, just 30 minutes for the after party and a 170-33 beating from hosts Rebellion Rollergirls in a closed door bout that had five Brawds injured including one hospital visit ... but there was the warm enveloping chattering companionship of the 50 seater plus the group laugh passing Stevenage's CHEAP ADULT DVD SHOP and well ... it's roller derby! |
| mo 17 oc 11 | It's been a couple of years since we've seen a cyclocross and  though a nice day may have helped it was still impressive youthful involvement at the Amis Velo Supacross in Colchester. Old timers complained like they always have that the course was too easy and national junior cross champion and Ashfield cum Thorpe resident Hugo Robinson won the event with such ease it must have been little more than a training run for him ... mind you he still broke sweat.

| we 17 au 11 |  Last Sunday the 10th annual Goodwood roller marathon had an incredibly mixed 1000+ field of the self propelled raising money for the NSPCC; some real tinies,
hurtling lines of mostly in-line skaters, a girl competing with her arm in a sling and huge support from roller derby ... from Cardiff a coach load of Tiger Bay Brawlers, Southend's Seaside Sirens, the Brighton Rockers, a fledgling yet to scrimmage league from Eastbourne, Haunted City (where's that?) and loads more! Looking forward to next year already. |
