Hockeyfest @ Clumber Park
The Sport Development Team at Clumber Park have been in post for a couple of months and are busy organising lots of different sporting offers to their visitors. Currently they are planning their summer holiday programme where they will be running informal, fun sport challenges one of which they hope to be hockey.
They’ve recently hosted a very successful tennis event (as part of a national partnership with the LTA). Coaches from local clubs came along to Clumber to promote their clubs and have chats with visitors whilst they made their way round 8 or so tennis challenges e.g. how many times can you bounce a ball, or how many forehands can you hit over the net etc. It was a really good fun event which over 200 people took part in. The LTA used this to promote their Great British Tennis Weekend.
They will be duplicating this format with a number of different sports and would like to have some local clubs along when they run their hockey activities? They would love to have coaches or club volunteers at the event just to mix in with the visitors and promote what their clubs offer (and maybe recruit some new members!).
They hope to run the event around 5-6 times over the 7 week holiday so there will be a range of dates which hopefully one or more might work for people.

Nottinghamshire HA Chairman’s Team
Please see the below from our Chairman;
To All Men’s clubs Nottinghamshire Hockey Association
Dear All, I have been invited to field a Nottinghamshire HA Chairman’s team to play a warm-up match against the Notts U17 boys JAC squad and would like to have representatives playing from as many Notts men’s clubs as possible. The team can be of any age group but please let me know if you are nominating anyone U18. Feel free to nominate several players if you wish. I do need 16 or even 18! I have Umpires already (surprise).
The match is on Friday 28/2/14 7.00-9.00pm on the SAND DRESSED pitch at Highfields. There will be no cost to the players and some County colours shirts will be available for them to play in.
I appreciate it is the day before most of you will play league hockey however I would welcome nominations from your club on the attached form. I don’t intend to wear your players out!
It will be welcome practice for the boys and a good opportunity for a player from your club (or two) to enjoy some social but hopefully competitive hockey in a different environment.
Please give it strong consideration and fill in and return the form as soon as possible and definitely by 14th February at the latest. If you want to say no then do please let me know that so I don’t start chasing the reply.
Regards & best wishes
Andy
