Large hall needed for local sports team
By Vamperia | Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 19:49
We are a group of women who have been thrown together by our love of doing something different rather than going to the gym or attending run of the mill sports centre classes.
We play Roller Derby, a full contact sport on roller skates, its fast paced and tactical and we are very passionate about it.
Working together as a team for almost 2 years and recently rebranding as S.W.A.T, we want to hold our own home 'bouts' (games) against other team in the UK (of which there are many - http://www.seasidesirenrollergirls.com/leagues/) unfortunately after spending months calling around every sports hall and community hall in Exeter, Somerset and surrounding areas, not one venue will give us the break we need!
We are hoping with a little media coverage there may be someone out there who will take pity on us, allowing us the opportunity to show we aren't going to damage any floors and that we are a professional team of sports women.
Bouts bring people to the area with 100s of tickets being sold for each event and a portion of the proceeds going to our chosen charity.
It's embarrassing that we are the only league in the Westcountry who can't host games. Plymouth, Cornwall, Bath, Bristol, Gloucester all have halls where they can hold games yet we do not.
Please please please help us! If you have a hall measuring a minimum of 98' X 63' (29.8m X 19.2m) or the equivalent of 7-8 badminton courts in size (4x2 formation) and you would allow us to rent the space from you a few times a year we would be eternally grateful! Please email vampira7t7@gmail.com if you can help
Thank you!
S.W.A.T
