We have spent a lot of time trying to decide what our 2nd story should be. After we didn't hear back from John our freestyle option we decided to find something more alternative and possibly continue our theme of bringing fresh and sidelined sports into the forefront. We began brain storming possible ideas out loud over a meeting. We were suggesting things such as possibly looking at women's football, Karting, Roller Derby etc. I thought roller derby could possibly work if we found a local team and a quick search on google proved this to be not only true but very local - Rochester & Chatham!
After looking at their websites we began to get even more enthralled by the story, the nicknames they give to each other, how the sport works, The fact the rochester team is a coed while the other is soley a women's team. All this is quite interesting and possibly something that could make an interesting story especially if we speak to the players and learn more about them.
We decided to give them a quick email and to continue to look for a phone number to engage properly with them about our project.
Hopefully we will hear from them soon!
Stay safe,
Helen
