Thank yous
The Exec also took the opportunity to thank all those who make the club work and hockey happen. Too many to mention by name, you know (and we know) who you are and the entire club thanks you so much for your commitment: all of our captains & managers; coaches; umpires; those who help maintain the grounds and clubhouse; those who help in the kitchen and bar; and our wonderful parents who support our junior teams so much.

This year we also wanted to mention a few individuals by name - those unsung volunteer heroes who seem to be helping out with any number of tasks:

Steve & Laura Lawlor for their help running the clubhouse and catering.
Steve Worrall, Matt Cocks, Robbie Kroeze and Dave Jones for their help to the coaches.
Tom Leonard and Sue Bott for coordinating umpires.
Nicky Stammers for her years of commitment overseeing various Otters, Beavers, Badgers and age group teams.
Robin Newbery for throwing himself into helping out with so many elements of the Junior Section.
Psycho, Howard & Sue and Ali Hill for keeping the show going and generally always being there to help when a crisis hits.

Enjoy Summer Hockey. Keep fit for pre-season training. We hope you've had a great season and are looking forward to an even better one to come.
