Date: Saturday 22nd June 2013
Venue: Carrara Indoor Sports Stadium
Time: 6pm – 9:30pm
Mission: Stormtroopers VS Wookiees Roller Derby bout – To bring an imperial presence to the roller derby and shake the tins for Gimme 5 for kids appeal.
Trooper Attendance:
Terrorfirma – TK and Ref-Trooper
Moxxxie – TK and Femme Trooper
Blade_Seduction - TX
Chopper – Tie Pilot
Spooky – Jawa
J’Girl – Imperial Officer
Madine – TD
Ashbash – Bo Katan
Little Loki – wrangling
Detail: A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, a women’s not for profit roller derby league decided to host an all-out Star Wars themed bout!
Carrara Indoor stadium became a mash up of roller derby and sci fi culture, as Gold Coast Roller Derby hosted a very special ‘Star Wars’ themed event. It’s as close to a trip to the Mos Eisley Spaceport as you’re going to get without leaving the planet!
Roller derby is the fastest growing female sport in Australia, and two Gold Coast teams of bounty hunting, booty blocking roller girls battled out for victory.
Roller derby is played on roller skates, and the rough and tumble nature of the game, coupled with bright outfits and loud personalities makes it a spectacular spectator sport.
Charity Funds Raised: still waiting on the email from Captain Killjoy (funds were collected by GCRD)
Injuries: None that I know of
Public Incidents: The public was well behaved.
Mission Status: HUGE success. The crowds swarmed for photos, we got a clap and a cheer from both teams and the refs told us we all looked ‘badass’ .
Photos: still waiting on others photographs but for now please enjoy one of the official photographers galleries (please respect the watermark and do not shop it out)

and a note from me... thank you all who came along. My two worlds collided for a night and I had so much fun. Captain Killjoy even mentioned the possibility of a future event
