Welcome to the OKHC newsletter
for the 2007/2008 Centenary season. The aim of this newsletter is
to keep you up to date with what's happening at the club, notify
you of upcoming events and to keep you informed of any other news
Training
starts on Wednesday 29th August. Training will be 7.30 till 8.30
for the Ladies and 8.30 till 9.30 for the Men. Members from all
teams are encouraged to make the commitment to come down and take
part.
Now is the time to invite your mates, colleagues,
acquaintances (or complete strangers), for the coming season.
Please take the opportunity to pin up marketing material (see
link below) at your workplace, gym or anywhere you think might
catch the eye of new players.
We will be running junior training this season
from Sunday 7th Oct. Separate sessions are run for 7 - 10 yrs
and 10 - 14 years. We start at 10:30am and finish at 12 noon.
Each team will be asked to assist the coaches during the season.
For more information go to the Juniors
sections or contact Nic Reynolds or Jon Tapp. Schedule
of sessions:
On
Saturday the 15th September the whole club will be kicking the
Centenary season off with a Club Day at Ditton Field. The day
will involve a number of games against the school and guest opposition,
some junior and mixed hockey followed by refreshments in the pavilion
and a BBQ at the end of the day.
All club members are most welcome whether you had the benefit
of going to KGS or not! There will be a lot of people there for
a great social occasion, so even if you are not playing come down
to the pitches to show your support, and enjoy a drink or picnic.
Exact times of games will be posted once confirmed.
A Golf
Day has been organised for Friday 19th October at Chobham Golf
Club. Details including booking information for this event are
attached. Don Wilson is organising the event and it would be good
to see as many members from the club participate as possible.
Subscriptions
are £150 for full time members if paid before 31/12/07 and
£180 thereafter (students/ unemployed £75). Payment
can be made by cash, cheque, direct bank transfer or by 5 monthly
standing order installments of £30. For those who wish to
pay by standing order form or need the club bank account details
for a direct bank transfer please contact graham.allen3@virgin.net.
As in previous season we will be offering a discount for members
who help to recruit new members. For each new recruit you bring
to the club there is a discount of £30 - hence if you can
recruit 5 players your subscriptions will be free. Please pay
your full subscriptions as normal and advise the treasurer (graham.allen3@virgin.net)
of the names of the players you have recruited. Any discounts
will be refunded by the treasurer upon receipt of a subscription
for the new recruit (note - the discount still applies for goalkeeper
recruits even though they are exempt from subscriptions).
