Your Story:
Skated a lot as a kid, was looking for a form of exercise which was more fun than exercise and reading a magazine one day, happened across mention of roller derby which was in Birmingham. One internet search later and an email to the "Can I come and have a go?" address and I turned up in the summer. Was happy to find that although I hadn't skated in a little over 20 years, my body still remembered how. Still can't handle rollerblades though and am happy I don't need to!

Likes:
Cats, lossa big piles of books to read, my motorbikes, bright green hair and company.

Dislikes:
People who mistake driving slowly for safely, soap operas, ridiculous o'clock in the morning, dogs and my current job.

Memorable Derby Moment:
Finding out I could do sprint starts!
