Scottish Roller Derby is just starting to emerge from its traditional month of hibernation, and there's already a lot of derby events scheduled for the next few weeks. To get you started on your next year of Derby, we've collected them together in one place for you with handy links! We’ve already covered most of the derby recruitment events in a previous post, so here we present mostly bouts and fundraising. We should note, however, a few addenda to the fresh meat article:

Firstly, Helgin Roller Derby have completely filled up their attendance list for their fresh meat, and are now closed for additional skaters until their next recruitment.

Secondly, just missing out on our article, Ayrshire Roller Derby also have a recruitment event scheduled for Tuesday 26th January, starting at 7pm at the Magnum Leisure Centre, Irvine. There is some kit available, but you are advised to contact ahead of time ayshirerollerderby@gmail.com.

Lothian Derby Dolls also announced recruitment very recently, with a session planned for 31st January at Musselburgh Sport Centre, starting at 1pm. You are advised to contact newskaters@lothianderbydolls.com for more information.
