CONGRATULATIONS: Sarah-Jane Jones on getting the Upper Hutt Coach of the Month award for March. Well done
THANK YOU: A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who sold Cadbury chocolate bars. In
just three weeks we raised around $500 from this…not bad considering it doesn’t
involve too many hours work for any one person. We are looking at selling maybe
Cadbury Moro bars next term – we’ll keep you posted.
LAURIE
HASTIE COMPETITION: May 29/30 at Pascal Street, Palmerston North. Entry forms on notice
board. Cost is $20.00 for 1 event, $30.00 for 2 or more events. Entries close
with our Club on Wednesday 5th May, 6.30 pm, at the rink.
HOCKEY: DAY and DATE ALTERATIONS: Instead of the Hockey Club having all day on the 1st Sunday of the month in May and July they will be having all day on Sunday 9th May and Sunday 13th June. This is because of our medal tests planned for the 2nd May and our Open Day in July.
HELP
WANTED: Friday 30th April, about 10.00
pm. To clean the rink floor and get the rink ready for the League on Saturday 1st
May. Please see or let Bruce know if you
can help. Help will be required on the day to man the shop and to assist on
preparing the officials lunch, etc. See Chris H or Bruce if you can help
ROSTERS: Thank you to everyone who has already taken a turn on the public session roster. The roster for Saturday afternoon sessions in April and April school holiday sessions is on the rink notice board now. If you haven’t already, please check it to find out when you are on. We are endeavouring to have a team of three adults for each session. There will always be at least one experienced person on. You’ll understand it is a logistical nightmare to try and contact everyone before putting names on the roster, so we have taken the liberty of putting members down for a day we hope will suit. If it doesn’t - please can you change with someone else (phone numbers are beside the name). If your name doesn’t appear yet, we will be putting you down for May, June or July. To assist with all bookings, especially during school hours and Saturday evenings that we get it would be appreciated that you let Mary-Anne, Chris H or Bruce know the times and days you may be able to help.
