The Wench Awards 2011

Recently the Roller Wenches celebrated their first anniversary, which also came as a time for reflection as well as celebration, for it's only on this first birthday that we as a team realized just how far they had come, from a team which started with a handful of skaters with dreams of making their mark in the Derby community, to now being a bout ready league complete with a dedicated Zebra Squad, which I'm proud to call myself a member of as well as running fresh meat sessions to find more like minded ladies to join the Wenchy revolution and which has already started producing skaters more than capable of skating with the more established wenches. To further mark the occasion I was given the honor of hosting and tallying votes for the first ever "Wench Awards"!

After much voting amongst the wenches on the awards to be featured, which in turn created some controversy amongst some of the wenches, especially when it came to categories such as "The WILF Award" aka: Wench I'd Like to F**K. Still despite this I stood by my choice to go with the categories which got the most votes, with so many ideas for awards, had I not narrowed it down, it would have ended up with "The Wench Awards" having more darn categories than the Grammies.

So allow me to now proudly present the nominees and winners of the first ever Wench Awards

The added bonus for the winner of "MVP" is that the winner also becomes the face of our first bout poster, an although all of the nominees would be worthy of winning this award it was an honor this year bestowed on our head coach "The Dutchess of Crutches", who over the course of the year has carved out a fearsome rep not only with the wenches for her coaching and on track skills, but also in the appearances she has made at mixed bouts since passing her skills test and it's a well deserved win for the Dutchess.

Once again I offer my congratulations to all the winners and everyone who was nominated.
