Hi there all,

We would like to make a special focus for trying to get numbers down to the clubhouse on the last Saturday in every month - "Club Night". Perhaps folks can try to make a special effort to come down at least once a month, in the knowledge that it's likely to be a lively and fun evening with a good chance of catching up with friends. Club Night may or may not coincide with a function or theme. It's a non-smoking venue now, is clean and child friendly with a well stocked / priced bar.

The more folks that make it down the better, as the more people present the bigger the buzz and the livelier the discussions (and also the more revenue to help pay for our use of the clubhouse). At the moment, unless there is a special function on, numbers on a Saturday night are patchy.

On other Saturday evenings the clubhouse will continue to be open from 6.30pm until 9pm, run by the teams themselves according to the bar rota: http://www.thamesvalleyhockeyclub.com/2006_7/events/bar_events.html. The clubhouse will also usually be open on Wednesday evenings from about 9pm (after training) for a drink.

Just a reminder too of planned 'Events' for the remainder of the season:

• 24-Feb - Quiz Night
• 31-Mar - Drink the bar dry
• ?? - CCC vs TVHC at both cricket / hockey coupled with BBQ / Beer Fest?? - idea in the pipeline - watch this space
• ?? - Club Dinner, date t.b.c., possibly held in the clubhouse itself!

If anyone has ideas / suggestions / feedback to help make Saturday nights more socialble events at the clubhouse - please let us know.

Cheers
Bails
