Hello freshers, welcome to the UWMHC.
Mens hockey is a thriving club both on and off of the pitch. We have 5 teams entering into BUSA and MRHA leagues, catering for all levels of ability. Last year we were very successful and hope to emulate this in 2008-9. We train twice a week, and are lucky enough to have 2 top quality coaches working with us in the coming year.
We also have a very active social side to the club, with weekly circles before sports night on Wednesdays and union events on Saturdays. We also run 2 tours each year. Our domestic tours take place with ladies hockey and are always lively, whilst our foreign tour sees us jet off for a sports party with a host of other universities. On top of this there are away days, social events such as the annual UWMHC go-karting championship, and valuable community and charity work.
Hopefully this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of! We will be at the sports fair on Tuesday 30th September so why not come and see us to get more info about trials and training!
If you can't wait till then and have any questions you can email me at christopher.bishop@warwick.ac.uk.
Good luck in results and we look forward to meeting you all in September.

Boys,
The Sports Ball 2008 promises to round off another fantastic year for the hockey club. It offers the opportunity to spend one final evening with everyone before summer and, for some, the end of uni.
Buy your tickets now - they're nearly sold out! It may seem expensive but it was the best night of last year by a distance - drinks on the piazza for several hours beforehand, then a tasty three course meal including plenty of wine, followed by music and dancefloor action til late surrounded by every other sports club at warwick. Immense. So don't be the joker who misses out.
Cheers, Bish
Boys,
Next to the Hockey Ball the AGM is the biggest and most important club event. Turn-up is compulsory to each club member. Check emails and forum for information on each position and ask me any questions you like. Time for AGM is not confirmed yet but it will take place around week 8.

Monday week 9 is the date we have decided on for the christmas meal this year and it will be held after training as usual (exact time TBC but around 8 - 8.30). We have decided to go back to Xananas (Dont eat the mussles!) as it is so easy to get to and one of the few places with a decent enough capacity. Make sure everyone signs up for this, its a really good night, nice christmas dinner, captains reports and a few other exec speeches and a good chance to celebrate our teams achievements so far. Its also a great chance for everyone to get involved socially in the club especially for those people that arent a fan of wednesday circles. Everyone in the club always turns out for this boys and its always a laugh, especially with the option of a cheeky top-b afterwards for those who are up for it.
Get your names down on the forum (or if you still dont have access drop me an email D.J.Stewart@warwick.ac.uk) so we can get an idea of numbers so we can book the place.
Hugs and Christmas Kisses

On Sunday 27th January we are again going to have a club trip to the National Indoor Finals at the NIA in Birmingham. Not only is a fantastic day out and a great chance to meet people outside your team (especially if you haven't been to many circles), tickets are only £10 for students!
Played on a smaller pitch with no hits and lots of drag flicks, top-flight indoor hockey is incredibly fast-paced and brilliant to watch. Last year Canterbury beat East Grinstead 7-6 in a very close final, successfully defending 3 shorties in the last minute. We'll be there for both the mens and ladies semis and finals (running from about 1pm until 8pm).
Getting to the NIA is easy as can be as Birmingham New Street is only a short train ride from Leamington or Canley (train station nearest campus). More details will be sent nearer the time.
A sign up sheet is up in Union North now, so please get your name down, and a cheque for £10 (payable as usual to "UWSU" with your name, uni number and "Mens Hockey resale" on the back) by 16th November (Friday week 7) by the latest, so UWMHC can all get seats together. Tickets will sell out quickly, so get signed up ASAP!
Regards,
Eve
A few people have spoken to me about not being able to get onto the forum. The reason for this is the new web address. Can everyone now use the web address:
