Summer 09 newsletter
Welcome back! We hope you've had a good summer and are looking forward to the new hockey season.
Summer hockey camp - 25th, 26th, 27th Aug
Shefford & Sandy Hockey Club is running some fun sessions of junior hockey the last week of the school holidays. The sessions are running from 10am-12pm on Tues 25th, Weds 26th and Thurs 27th Aug. The cost is just £2 per session. The sessions are aimed at 10-14 year old boys & girls. They can attend one, two or all three sessions and learn some basic hockey skills before testing them out in some mini fun games. There is no need to book in advance.
Membership forms - 1st Sept
Membership forms will be e-mailed / posted out the first week of September, so keep an eye out. To cover increased costs (e.g. insurance, coaching) and lower membership last season, annual subs have had to increase. Subs are now £120 for seniors, £70 for juniors / fulltime students, £80 for Committee members & captains, and £40 for goalkeepers (with their own kit). However, to qualify for the early bird discount rate (£100 seniors, £50 juniors / FT students, £60 Committee members & captains, £20 goalkeepers) you must pay before 31st October. Match fees remain the same (£8 seniors / £4 juniors).
REMINDER: If you do not pay your subs you will not be able to be selected for league matches. This rule applies after 7th Nov 09.
Training - 8th Sept
Training resumes for both juniors and seniors on Tuesday 8th September. Juniors at 6.30-7.30pm, men 7.30-9pm, ladies 7.30-9.30pm (ALL ladies this week). Ladies training will continue as last season so the first Tuesday of each month will be for ALL members. Then all other weeks will be as follows :-
7.30pm-8.30pm All players in 3rd and 4th teams plus any new players / players who don't play matches.
8.30pm - 9.30pm All 1st and 2nd team players.
For info, league games commence 26th Sep but there will be some friendlies before then.
