Notts roller girl logo

thanks charlotte!!!

In terms of Skating Practice, just had a quick roll about in the dining room – floorboards but not much space.  I still need to work on my posture, need to get the right balance of knees bend to straight back etc.  I came away today with a sore back, so i think i am doing something wrong in terms of posture still   But everyday i get on those wheels i learn something new.  I realise that it is going to take me a long time to get up to derby standard, but the long road starts with the first step (or some such nonsense).  Well must keep going.  Think i have about 7 ladies (plus me) interested in joining the team (and that is without any advertising)  am meeting some of them this week and hopefully i will be able to get a few things kicked off, get some practices scheduled in and get this show on the road.  I think i am going to have to toughen up and prepare for the pain and bruising that proper practices are going to bring – yikes !!!

If you don’t ask you don’t get.

So in the spirit of just launching into it and seeing what happens, i decided that my first attempt at a logo for Nottingham Roller Girls just wasn’t going to cut the mustard, so after stumbling across a website of a local artist, Charlotte Thompson and thinking her style looked ideal for a new logo, i took it upon myself to email her and ask if she would draw something wild and wonderful for us.

Receiving the email from her this morning with the new logo attached was very exciting, and when i actually saw the drawing she had done, my jaw literally hit the floor.  It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. better than i could have ever imagined (and never drawn myself in a million years).

She is just finishing off the last few final touches for me in the next few days and then i will post the final lady in all her glory for you here for all to see.

If you want to get an idea of the kind of style she has and what so inspired me in the first places, check out her website here……

Why not commission her to create your very own portrait?  I am sure you will be amazed with the result.

And for me, time to start producing some recruitment flyers
