THE Basingstoke Bullets are opening their doors to new recruits to learn to skate and play roller derby.

This is a female-dominated sport, but men’s teams are becoming more popular.

The club can also offer training for referees and non-skating officials.

The team have been together since the summer of 2011 and play in tournaments all over the south-west of England.

They are now open to new recruits for the first time in six months and anyone interest-ed should go along to Testbourne Community School in Whitchurch on Tuesdays.

Kit and skates are available for hire.
