Chairman's Chat
This week we had the first ELHC Exec Committee meeting welcoming Lorna Symthe as Treasurer and Charlotte Burge as Secretary. We covered lots of plans for next season around teams, coaches and training. Unfortunately we’re dependent on our pitch slot providers at Mile End and Lee Valley, who don’t confirm bookings this far in advance, so can’t finalise anything yet. However, you’ll see the minutes coming out shortly, so you can see everything we discussed.
We’re now well into summer hockey – both the summer leagues and the Saturday social games. Thanks to all the new and experienced captains for picking these up!
You’ll also know that we’ve got two big 25th anniversary events coming up… the 25th tournament on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st July, together with the black tie 25th anniversary dinner on the evening of Friday 19th August. There’s lots of work going on to prepare these events, and I’d like to thanks Char Tyler, Mike Pettit, Mark Prince and Emily Quin for all their ongoing support.
I know many of you will be keen to take part in the 25th tournament. In the likely event the demand outstrips supply, we’re establishing a fair method to ballot across members for those of you who wish to take part. We’re also looking for two people to help on the day – one taking photographs and the other video footage. If you’re interested, get in touch via chairman@elhockey.co.uk. They’ll be other opportunities to help out which will be advertising soon.
Cheers,
Dan
