After a blissful summer of high octane Olympic sport what better way to welcome in the new season than some action packed Club Days forming part of the England Hockey National #HockeyFest on Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th September 2016.

#HockeyFest offers a fantastic opportunity for new and existing players to pick up a stick, join in the fun and be part of a National event at your local hockey club.

They're interactive days of fun and games and it doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to a hockey club before, a friendly welcome is guaranteed with plenty of opportunities for you to get involved.

Our Club Days are open to everyone, irrelevant of age or experience. Playing hockey at BOEHC is a great way to make new friends and get regular exercise in a fun and sociable environment. If you have played before at whatever level then come along and check out the Club - try out for a team, meet the coaches and members or watch a few friendly games.

We will be welcoming new players, volunteers and officials as well as providing an opportunity for any seasoned members to catch up with each other.

Two days dedicated to bringing our club together to celebrate, communicate and participate.

Contact Michael Thorns - info@blackheath.co.uk with any queries or questions.
