Russets Club News
| Russets are off to the Olympics! | 18/05/2012 |
Having purchased 40 tickets for the Olympic Hockey via EHB's allocation scheme, I can announce that these have now been allocated through a fair process.
The first draw, targetted at the Junior Section, was made at the coaches' end of season meeting in April. A group of 16, comprising 3 coaches and 13 juniors, will head off to a Women's Qualifying Session on August 2nd.
The second draw, open to all club members, was made at the recent AGM. One group of 12 will attend a Men's Qualifying Session on July 30th, and a further group of 12 will attend another Women's Session the following day.
In case you weren't aware, the son of our Men's 2nd XI coach is Austin Smith, captain of the South African Men's team, which qualified at the eleventh hour. Please cheer him on if you happen to be at one of their games.
Congratulations to to the lucky winners - have a great time... | |
| Summer Hockey? | 18/05/2012 |
You may be wondering when summer training/matches will be starting...
The intention is to do some training on Tuesday evenings, and arrange some matches around that. I am on the case and will post details here in the next few days, so keep an eye on this space.

| New Club Officials... | 18/05/2012 |
At last week's AGM, the following posts changed hands:
Hockey Secretary - Rob Stephen has taken over the reins from Charlotte Sharp
Men's Fixtures Secretary - Will Page and Rob Dixon will share the burden previously shouldered by Chris Courtney
Press Officer - having not had one for two years, Phil Bishop has volunteered to lead efforts to increase our public profile
We will get together over the next few weeks to complete handovers to the new incumbents. In the meantime, thanks to the retiring postholders for their efforts over the years. | |
