New Rules
The International Hockey Federation (FIH) have announced new rules which will come into effect in England on 1st September 2012. These will allow the scoring of 'own goals' more easily and the ability to lift the ball when taking a free hit, centre pass or putting the ball back into play. August 2012
Subs and Training
The first training session for the new season will start slightly earlier than normal on Wednesday 22nd August. We have been encouraged to do this by England Hockey to build on the expected high profile of hockey during the London Olympics. We will also be ready to collect your membership forms and subs on the first two training sessions. All members need to submit a new membership form. It may seem a hassle filling one in each year, but it guarantees that we have your up-to-date contact details in case of an emergency. If you wish, you can send your subs and membership form to our new secretary Debbie Dring at: Fry's Hockey Club c/o Debbie Dring 18 Congleton Road, Bristol, BS5 7AP Training will run to the normal timings (see here if in doubt) and members of the committee will be at the pitch from 6.30pm for the ladies to collect subs/forms and hand out shirts and from 7.30pm for the men. (The start date for junior training has not yet been decided.) Since there will be no matches for the first few weeks, everyone coming to training must pay the usual amount of £2 to cover the cost of the pitch hire. June 2012
