Swapping skates for trainers? Must be for Charity...

Dames and other fun-runners for RMHC

Last Sunday, Dames and Dukes Superoxide, Suzette la Flamme, RUFFty TUFFty, Max Dissent, Nico Warrior, Coletta L Damage and Cherry KO ran the 8.5 miles of the Great Midlands Fun Run for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Ronald McDonald House is an independent Charity which aims to provide free ‘home away from home’ accommodation at hospitals across the UK, enabling families to stay close to their child and maintain a degree of normal family life. The charity is close to the Dames' hearts as our very own Freedom Fyta works for Ronald McDonald House in Birmingham.

Together the Dames raised over £740 including giftaid for RMHC. It's not too late to make a donation though. Just click here.

Fundraiser Fun!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Smells Like Blitz Spirit fundraiser at the Sunflower Lounge last night. We had an excellent time and rasied a fair bit of cash for the league in the process. Making money should always be this fun!

Smells Like Blitz Spirit!

We'd like to thank everyone who came and supported us at Jam Busters, our first home bout in absolutely ages last Saturday! Extra special thanks to the Lincolnshire Bombers obviously who came down and were such awesomely tough opponents. The final score was 32 to the Dames and 84 to the Bombers. Well done guys, very well deserved!


But after all that bouting, now we're in the mood for a party....Smells Like Blitz Spirit!

Party with the Dames at the Sunflower lounge in Birmingham, cakes, rollergirls and DJ sets from Count Trackula and Hayden CollideHer. Only £3 on the door from 8pm till late.

Support your local roller derby, and have a good few beers while you're at it ;)

Good job then that we have a fundraiser coming up:

Helsinki & Hellfire Harlots Happiness!

Last weekend Violet Attack, Roisin Roulette, Suzette la Flamme, Nico Warrior, X-Raych and Metal Ed attended MayDay in Hell hosted by Helsinki Roller Derby.

The bootcamp took place over the May Bank Holiday weekend (also a big Holiday in Finland!) and the Dames participated in two bouts. Bout 1 was Snow Whites vs Black Swans and Bout 2 was White Noise vs Black Metal.

For the first bout, Suzette la Flamme won the award for Hardest Blocker for the Black Swans. For the second bout, Roisin Roulette won the award for Most Valuable Player for Black Metal and Violet Attack won the award for Most Valuable Player for White Noise. A pretty sucessful day for the Dames!

The bouts were streamed live on DNN and if you missed them you can re-watch on Justin.TV here!

We'd like to thank all the guys and girls from Helsinki for putting on such a great weekend for us!


Those Dames who didn't spend their Bank Holiday weekend in Scandinavia were lucky enough to have been joined for a mixed scrimmage by the Hellfire Harlots. It was a fantastic day and we'd like to thank the Harlots, and our friends from Severn Roller Torrent for joining us.

Jammunition: Sirens 141 - 101 Bombshells

Massive thanks to everyone who came and supported the Blitz Dames yesterday in our first open door intraleague bout. A big shout out too to the Mersey Misfits, an up and coming league from Wirral who chose Jammunition for their first league bout road trip! We are honoured ladies!

After a very close fought bout, the final score was Sirens 141 - 101 Bombshells, making it one bout win a piece so far for the BBD intraleague teams this season.

We'd also like to thank everyone who came along to help out, referee, pedle wares, NSO (looking lovely in their special grey t-shirts ;) ), play music, announce, lay the track and be generally helpful. We could not have done it without you all!


The Blitz Dames' next bout is 7th May 2011 at home to the Lincolnshire Bombers. More details coming soon!

Jammunition!

The second Blitz Dames intraleague bout of the season. The Bombshells will be taking on the Sirens again on 16th April 2011 at Stockland Green Leisure Centre in their 'Jammunition' bout and this time YOU can come and watch.

It's only £3, what a bargain! Reserve your ticket here and pay on the door.

See you there!
