Stitchyshef Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hi everyone This Saturday (8th June) come down to Skate Central to see Sheffield Steel Rollergirls in their upcoming intraleague roller derby bout. This is a really fun night out – we have 2 teams, the Steel Panthers and the Death Leopards – who will win the catfight this time?! If you don’t know what roller derby is; basically 5 players from each team skate around an oval track, one player from each team is the ‘jammer’ and she tries to bully and barge her way through the pack of ‘blockers’ to score points. Cue lots of crashes, falls, fancy footwork and amazing skating. It’s all done with the help of referees on skates, non-skating officials, a sin bin which is always busy and announcers so you can follow it all. Doors open at 7pm, team warm-ups and skate-outs from 7.15 onwards. The bout starts at 7.45pm and its 2 halves of 30 minutes. There is also a bar on the rink with lager/cider/spirits/wine/soft drinks. I’ve also heard that there will also be hot roast pork sandwiches. We always have a selection of buns and cakes for sale as well as team t-shirts, badges etc. After watching the roller derby and supping a few drinks you can then stay for the roller disco afterwards – just £2 including skate hire, lockers available if required. And there’s some really good music too making it a great opportunity to give roller skating a go without loads of kids around! Sorry but this event is OVER 18s ONLY due to there being alcohol for sale and the venue’s requirement. Tickets on the door are £5. Hope to see you there!! You never know you may love what you see and want to give roller derby a go! (Skate Central is the old Silver Blades ice skating rink, its on Queens road just outside of town. You go upstairs to get to the rink, there’s a ‘Roller Skating’ sign above the door. You can get the number 53 bus, or the blue tram Granville Rd stop. Or you can drive and park outside, its pay and display. Anything else you need to know ask away!) https://www.facebook.com/events/339916169467671/ http://www.sheffieldsteelrollergirls.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesogt Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 And once you are done you can go in the casino to see the act, eat and drink! It is Lionel Richie from 10.15-12am http://www.grosvenorcasinos.com/local-casinos/sheffield Quick side note, don't forget to read the car park signs if you drive, parking for the rink is charged by pay and display.
