 Clothing Shop Update - Stand at Club Day! 21 Aug 2019 Norwich City Hockey Club members, it is that time of year to start thinking about updating and sorting your kit for the season ahead. We will be making slight tweaks to the way in which kit is ordered to help speed up the process. Sunday 1st September is Club Day; we will have the clothing store open and a chance to try on sizes of all kit including our smart new 1/4 zip club tops. If you would like to order kit for the forthcoming season we will be setting a deadline of 1st September. This will give us a bulk order which will speed things up rather than a scatter gun approach. We will then open another window at the beginning of the October Half Term to order further things. Please be aware that there is often a 6-8 week turn around on non-stock items, so being prompt with your orders online before 1st September will help! If you want to try on things for size, come to Club Day on Sunday 1st September.

 Congratulations to our Norwich City HC 1st XI players for making the England Hockey Mixed Squad 11 Jul 2019 Congratulations to Norwich City HC 1st XI players Alastair Cooke, Thomas Cooke, Cameron Cooke and Ellie Brine for being selected into the England Mixed Hockey Squad for this summer, with special mention that Thomas Cooke who has been asked to Captain the side. Well done, it is great to see members of our club again this season and previous seasons continuing to be selected for the England Mixed Hockey squads. Lots of hard work over recent months at training sessions and trials fixtures has clearly paid off. It was also good to see how well our own Norwich City Mixed XI performed in a very close 0-1 loss against the England Mixed XI in a recently played friendly fixture at TRF, very end to end and a balanced game, so whilst it was good to see our own club team mates playing in their England Mixed kit it was great to see how well our own Mixed XI played against them.
 Club Day is Sunday 1st September @ TRF 9 Jul 2019 Our Club Day is as always open to all members, families, friends and those just wanting to come along and enjoy the day. It is being run this year on Sunday 1st September at Taverham starting from 10.30am, arrive at 10am, and as always will be a mixed ability hockey festival, inviting all players of all abilities from our vets through to our developments (O13s) and from beginners right through to our first team players. It will be a 10am meet and please bring a coloured/yellow and white shirt to wear during the day. Teams are arranged through the website registration process so let us know that you intend to come along, our aim is to create balanced teams so nobody needs to feel like they aren't capable of playing in what is already a fun hockey event. We will have the usual food on the BBQ and the bar will be open all day for drinks and snack. Please ensure that you register your attendance via our website.

Times and venues should start to appear during August. The new website can be found at www.hockey-east.co.uk. If there is anything you would like to see on the new website please let me know and I will feed this back to the East League.
