As we approach the festive season and the close of the first half of our 2024/25 season, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm. It’s been a marvellous season so far, and I’m excited for what’s to come in the New Year. Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

The first half of the season has been a whirlwind of activity. With a full and challenging league fixture table, to social events and matches across all levels—including Juniors, Badgers, and Seniors—to an interclub game that brought out some final 2024 hockey action, it’s been a brilliant end to the year.

Important Reminders:

1. Subscriptions and Match Fees:
As we wrap up 2024, please remember that subscriptions are due and need to be settled as soon as possible. If you have outstanding match fees, we kindly ask that you clear these up for the first half of the season.

2. New Year Plans:
We’ll be kicking off the second half of the season with an interclub game with all the mens teams on the first weekend of January, Ladies wanting to get a run out are welcome too — a perfect way to shake off the Christmas indulgence and get back into the swing of things! Regular training sessions will resume the following week on Tuesday, 7th January, and Wednesday, 8th January, Then the ladies 2nds have a double games outing on the 2nd weekend in January.

A few more bits of news and updates will follow shortly, so keep an eye out for these.

To the players, parents, supporters and helpers, thank you once again for your dedication and commitment. Enjoy the festive season, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the New Year, ready for more hockey and camaraderie.

Merry Christmas to everyone on behalf of the Adders Committee and Managers,

Ant Hobbs - Club Chairman
