Final Peterborough Area Roller Derby Home Double-Header Hits Douro This Saturday

It’s the last chance to catch both Peterborough Area Roller Derby PARD teams in action on their home track as they take the track at the Douro Community Centre this Saturday.

Peterborough Area Roller Derby is an inclusive, co-ed, skater run, not-for-profit organization started in 2015 and is made up of skaters from across central Ontario who compete on both its regulation and WFTDA Charter. Photo courtesy of PARD.

PARD’s Charter team takes on visiting Salt City Roller Derby at 4 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., PARD’s Regulation will meet up with Ottawa Roller Derby’s Bytown Blackhearts. Doors open at 3:30 p.m and between games there will be opportunities for audience members to win prizes in the Chuck-A-Duck and the Pool Pony races.

Tickets to this all ages, family friendly event are $15 at the door, or $10 in advance by contacting the league or going online. Kids 12 and under are free. Merch tables and a meal from Mammoth Barbeque will be set up in the arena parking area. The event is licensed and cash only is accepted at the bar.

Our next intake of skaters — including absolute beginners to roller skating — will take place in late September with their Learn to Skate/Roller Derby 101 program.

Peterborough Roller Derby Indiegogo Campaign

The Peterborough Roller Derby is looking to raise some funds to help pay this summer's fees, and keep the games here in Peterborough again next year. They have a $1,500 goal with only a few weeks to go and you can help contribute through their Indiegogo campaign. You can pledge anywhere from $1 to $1,000 and in turn you will receive "perks" for your contribution which could include everything from recipes from the PRD Cookbook to a season's pass.
