Large hall needed for local sports team

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

    I met the Taunton roller derby girls in 2010 when they were just forming before they renamed themselves because the new Miss Taunton Lizzy Grigg told me she was a member. I fear they may be the victims of the same kind of prejudice that teenagers get when they dress a little different, I hope I am wrong and someone will give them a break. They are a lovely bunch of women who raise money for charity, do ordinary jobs and like something different to let off steam.
    It is no more aggressive than any other contact sport.
