Great to see that the team at TRF have installed the new scoreboards on both pitches at Taverham, funded jointly with BHC and TRF, with NCHC using some of its lottery and fundraising funds to help purchase them. 
 
Thank you to all members, family and guests who are part of our lottery and those who have helped with fundraising initiatives.

We want to send warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our members, family, friends, and everyone in teams that we meet across the region! 
 
Just a quick heads-up for our members: training will resume again the week of January 6th 2025. Be sure to check out our website's training page for all the details. 
 
If you're looking for some fun over the break, there will be a few teams playing social and inter-club hockey! Stay in touch with your captains and managers to find out if your team is joining in on the action. 
 
A huge thank you to everyone who makes our club going - our captains, managers and coaches who volunteer their time and effort so we can enjoy training and matches week after week. We truly appreciate you all! 
 
Have a wonderful holiday season, and we can't wait to see you all again in 2025!

We are working with the GFCT charity, based in Warwick, to help promote and run Prostate Cancer and Heath Testing events for men and women across the UK, asking whether we would host an event for them at our ground in Taverham on Sunday 2nd March. 
 
It will cost £25 per test that you select and qualified nurses will be with us on the day to quickly take the blood samples and get them sent off to the lab for processing. It is a great way of early diagnosis of different types of health risks or concerns and the whole process takes less than a week from your test to get your results.  
 
The event will include opportunities for selecting from a variety of testing options including Prostate Cancer for men and Cholesterol, Diabetes, Liver, Iron, Vitamin D, Kidney, Thyroid for both women and men. 
 
You can find out more using the following link, read more about the benefits to the whole testing process and also register online to book your time slot on the day.  
 
You are welcome to share the link with friends and family, we have lots of spaces available so be good to try and make their trip across to Norwich a worthwhile one. If we don't get enough interest then there is a chance the event will have to be cancelled, so by all means invite others if they would like to attend.  
 
On the same day we have our Mens 1st XI playing a home game against Barford Tigers in the EH National Midlands League from 13:00, so if you could also come and watch that game as well if you want to see some hockey being played. 
 
We have a limited number of spaces available and these will be provided on a first come first serve basis, so please get yourself booked as soon as possible.

The start of the Christmas shopping season seems like a good time to tell you about a new way to help Norwich City Hockey Club with fundraising.  
 
Did you know that whenever you buy anything online - from your weekly shop to your annual holiday - you could be raising free donations for the Club with "easyfundraising"? There are over 8,000 retailers on board ready to make a donation - including eBay, Argos, John Lewis & Partners, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S - and it won't cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.  
 
All you need to do is:  
1. Go to https://easyfundraising.org.uk/norwich-city-hc/ and join for free.  
2. Every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping.  
3. After you've checked out, the retailer will make a donation to Norwich City Hockey Club at no extra cost to you whatsoever!  
 
There are no catches or hidden charges. These donations really mount up and make a BIG difference to us, so we'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to sign up and support us. It's completely FREE and only takes a moment. 
 
Thank you so much for your support.

Norwich City have recently been re-accredited with England Hockey's ClubMark which shows that we are a well run club, we have appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure that everyone is safe and well looked after, we offer a range of opportunities for people to play and that we're generally pretty fab to be honest! I can hear you all saying that you already knew that! Well this is just England Hockey acknowledging it and allowing us to shout about it a bit more! 
So cheers to us!

We will aim to ensure we communicate any cancellations and changes through the various means to all players and members, but please do keep an eye on our various social media feeds using the link below.
