Newcastle Zombie March Newcastle Undead Society Zombie March - 2010
NRDL had planned to stage a demo bout in Foreshore Park, but due to the rain it was cancelled. That didn't stop the derby girls and guys however, from donning their zombified make-up at The Loft, and then marching...err...shuffling on through the soggy streets of Newcastle... Destination: Greater Union Towers Cinema for the "Scream Screen" Zombie Film Festival.

NRDL on Radio "The Padded Room, with Joe Brown"
2CHR 96.5FM Community Radio
- Multiple Dates
A little apprehensive about what to expect. Three Derby Dolls sit in the foyer of Cessnock Radio Station. When BAM the door flys open. Joe stands beaming in the doorway. Bursting with energy and short of breath Joe starts telling us how excited he was to have us in the Studio. We all shake hands and have our introductions, no longer apprehensive about what to say on air. Five minutes with Joe has put us all at ease. As it's clear to see he knows what to say, and has enough energy to carry the show for the four of us. Being on air was a fantastic experience, we got the opportunity to tell people what the League was up to. Speak to fans we didn't even know we had, and just have a laugh with Joe. Since our first visit to Cessnock Radio we've been making regular visit to talk to Joe, and all the girls say, how great of a time they have.
NRDL Mattara Festival Mattara Festival Parade 2009 - 11/10/2009
NRDL made its Mattara Parade debut with style. With a Pirates Vs. Sailors theme, the crew were dolled up to the nines in pirate regalia and sailor suits, complimented by 8 wheels and a lot of sass. NRDL proved a big hit in the parade with the skaters and their families making a great impression with onlookers :)

NRDL Car Wash & BBQ NRDL Carwash & BBQ - 08/11/2009
As the NRDL Derby Dolls started out the day under a tarp of pouring rain. Community spirit prevailed, as did the weather, and although the weather wasn't everything we'd hoped for. The spirit of the day certainly was. Once our President backed that big water tanker truck into the vacant car-park. The people started to notice NRDL. Naturally for our friendliness, and partly, because some of our members were in their swimwear. As more and more people started to notice we had more cars to wash then we knew what then we could almost keep up with. The day was a great success, as fun spirited open Derby Dolls helped out with everything from draining the water to relieve car-park drains, to cooking a sausage sizzle for waiting customers.
