Members of the Beijing Hockey Club have officially been invited to the 35th Annual RBSC Hockey Festival, taking place in Bangkok on the weekend of December 1st & 2nd, 2007. The 2-day hockey fiesta culminates in a dinner party and presentation on the Sunday night.
Total entries have been limited to 36 men's teams and 10 women's teams, therefore please contact us asap at bjhockeyclub@hotmail.com if you are interested in participating. Please also advise if you are available to leave on the Friday before. This is one of the best hockey tournaments in Asia and will be a heap of fun, therefore it is an opportunity not to be missed!! (Costs are yet to be confirmed.) September 26 Practice matches for the next 2 weekendsAs this weekend is officially a working weekend (29-30 Sept), and the weekend after (6-7 Oct) is part of the National Day holiday, we are trying to determine if the sessions will still go ahead depending on how many will attend the session on each weekend. Please email Cristian at seguraarasa@hotmail.com by this Friday if you are definitely interested in playing either weekend. Final details will be posted closer to the session.
Otherwise, have a fun and safe Golden week holiday and hope to see you all soon! September 19 SATURDAY, September 22nd, 2007Practice Match Session - Saturday, September 22
This week's session will be held at the regular Olympic outdoor pitch from 10:30am for a warm-up for an 11am start (until approximately 1pm). We will be meeting at 10am on the platform of Guloudajie subway station for those who want to share taxis.
Socially, we will be having lunch afterwards at Nyonya Kitchen, Lido. Logistics to the restaurant will be sorted out after the session.
We will also be meeting up from 8pm at the Rickshaw (Nansanlitun lu, near the bookworm) for drinks, bonding and a general good time. Hope to see you at any or all of the above gatherings! Email bjhockeyclub@hotmail.com if you need further details.
September 13 Session CANCELLATION - SATURDAY, September 15th, 2007Due to many members being unavailable, the practice match session for Saturday, September 15 has had to be cancelled. Apologies for the inconvenience.
 The next session is pencilled in for Saturday, September 22 at the regular outdoor field. Stay posted to the website or your email for more details! September 11 SATURDAY, September 15th, 2007Practice Match Session - Saturday, September 15
As with last week, the session will start at 1pm at the indoor pitch (see ‘Contacts and Location’ for more details). Next week we should hopefully be back at the outdoor pitch!
We are again meeting at 11:45am in front of the St Regis Hotel, 21 Jianguomenwai Dajie (opposite TGI Friday and next to Sizzler) to share spare car seats and taxis, if needed. It is suggested that you meet here if you haven’t been to the stadium before to avoid getting lost, because it isn’t that easy to find!
Please bring or buy water before heading to the venue as there is nowhere to purchase water once there and it can get very hot inside.
Again, all welcome & hope to see you there! Check the noticeboard in case of changes closer to the weekend! Round up of last session (September 8)Awesome turn out last week and good to see most people with their own sticks and balls now! To avoid confusion, as many of them look the same, please put your name on your equipment with a permanent marker before the next session!
A few things to remember after a couple of incidents last week: (1) Please let Peter know if you decide to wander from the group so we don’t leave you behind (2) If you’ve never been to the indoor stadium before, best to meet at our meeting spot to avoid getting lost (3) Make sure you check that you have all your belongings before leaving as the stadiums are not exactly central, and taxi rides back and forth will add up!
Otherwise, if anyone has any photos to contribute to the website, please send them to bjhockeyclub@hotmail.com September 07 SATURDAY, September 8th, 2007Practice Match Session - this Saturday, September 8!
This Saturday's session will start at 1pm. As the normal field is out of bounds for two weeks, this week's session will take place at the indoor astroturf pitch in a school at Da xing huang cun lu cheng ti yu xun lian ji di (大兴黄村芦城体育训练基地 ). See the Contacts and Location section for more details.
For those who would like to share taxis, we are meeting at 11:45am in front of the St Regis Hotel, 21 Jianguomenwai Dajie (opposite TGI Friday and next to Sizzler). Bring water or you can purchase some at the 7-11 across the road. Again, all friends, beginners and experts alike are welcome!
Hockey Sticks for Sale at the Stadium!: Tom from the hockey shop is bringing down a range of sticks, new and used, for people to purchase at the session. He is even willing to return to his store if he sells out or if you want a different type or weight, so there should be no issues with sticks this week and you should come on down!
Hope to see you all there!
