🏳️‍🌈 Oxford Pride 🏳️‍🌈

It was a super jam-packed weekend with Oxford Pride on Saturday! We had a gorgeous group of skaters turn up despite the soggy weather (one bravely on skates!), and we were rewarded with some sunshine later in the day 🌞

We were thrilled to show off our new banner handmade by Rosa, alongside some cardboard signs that held up surprisingly well in the rain .

It is so important at the moment for us as a league to show up for our community, especially our trans friends who face intense political challenges following the recent EHRC code of practice. We stand with them always 🏳️‍⚧️

ORD Blackbirds smashed it at our second T3 5N game on Sunday 🤩 North Wales Roller Derby played with lots of heart and determination and we loved being on track with them 💙
