About Me:
I was a fan of the roller game when the T-Birds had a team in Australia in 1966-1967. My dad took me to see them skate when they came to Newcastle in August 66. They skated against the New York Bombers. I Just loved it. I loved to roller skate. I also used to ice skate. I paint and draw and have sold my paintings. At the moment I am recovering from an operation on my right hand which means I have had to give up my floristry job. I hope to concentrate on my art in the future.
Favorite RollerGames/RollerDerby Team:
T-Birds
Favorite RollerGames/RollerDerby Player:
Ronnie Rains
Favorite RollerGames/RollerDerby grudge between players:
Shirley Hardman and Colleen Murrell 1966
I want RollerSports action to come to my town so that I can see it live.
yes
I am a skater, and would like to know how I can try out for a team.
no
The thing I remember most about RollerGames/RollerDerby is:
I remember the excitement of waiting to watch the Roller games on TV on a Saturday afternoon. I never got to Sydney to see them skate. They used to replay the game on on Tuesday night. I would watch it again
My Favorite Music:
I am a Beatles fan from way back, although I like all music.
My Favorite TV Shows:
I like comedies, science fiction, history programs. My favourite TV program at the moment is Dr Who. I try not to miss it.
Something nobody knows about me:
When I was a kid I wanted to Skate in the Roller Game. I became a florist instead.
I promise to upload my picture to my profile:
no
Please keep me informed about EVERYTHING RollerGames/RollerDerby!
yes

Hi Jim
I just heard about the earth quake in California. I hope everyone is safe. I bet you are glad you and your family are not in Disneyland today. We had a big one here in Newcastle a few years ago. Badly damaged our area and several people died. so I know how scary they are.
Good luck for your game at the Kezar Pavillion on the 23rd. Who do you skate against. Can you send me your team line up. I will be cheering for them.
Keep Safe
Carol

Hi Carol,

You'd have a great time if you came out. I just got back from Disneyland with the kids and that is definately another place you'd have to visit.

The team is going great and we're looking forward to skating in our "old home", Kezar Pavilion, on August 23rd.

Take care,
Jim

It looks like there's currently seven roller derby leagues in Australia (I believe Sydney's league would be the closest to you, as they're in your province). There's others in Brisbane, Northern Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Geelong.

I understand that the new "Team Canada" is going to Australia next year to take on some of the leagues down under.

Hi Carol,

Lets keep our fingers crossed we will return to Australia one day soon. In the mean time, maybe you can plan a vacation to come out and see one of our games live.

Take care,
Jim

Hi Carol,

Ann Calvello often spoke fondly about that time (1966) while on tour in Australia. She had a great posed shot of herself on a beach with wrestling legond, Pepper Gomez who was also on tour wrestling in Australia.

Nick Scopas was a great skater and later married Joan Weston.

Maybe one day Rollergames will be on tour in your neck of the woods.

Take care,
Jim
