Back to the usual time of 1pm, meet 12.30pm. Noon meet at Guloudajie (middle of platform) for sharing taxi’s.

 

Tom is in town (hockey shop address is on website) so please make an effort to buy a stick if you haven’t got one as there may not be enough spare sticks to go around.

 

For those who have showed an interest for Bangkok (as attached) could you please re-confirm with me once again (I need to complete and send the team list, book flights, hotel rooms etc., order kit – any volunteers to help me with this!!) by Friday as we are going ahead with this tournament. Tournament is also only 7 weeks away. The local guys are making up the numbers in the Men’s team. And ladies from the Valley Hockey Club (Hong Kong) www.valleyrfc.com will make up the numbers for the Ladies’ side (we are now 8 ladies). Thanks Ian.  If anyone else wants to join please let me know.

 

Social for Sat. evening, drinks at Rickshaw’s again!! (notice the new Kro’s nest is open, Allison/Nestor, maybe a few beers/pizza there?)  

 

for a couple of minutes only :)

 

during last Sunday's training we had the honour and pleasure to play for half an hour against the Chinese Men's National Hockey team ! Many thanks to them for being so nice and letting us see the ball from time to time:)

 

We wish them all the best for the olympics and hopefully we'll be able  to play more often against them.

pictures of this memorable game coming up soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!  

Practice 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!  

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  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All friends, relatives and well-wishers are welcome to all of the above events! Hope to see you there!  

Hockey game practice sessions for the Beijing hockey club are scheduled for Saturdays, with training intended to be scheduled for Wednesdays. The times (and possibly days) may change from time to time so please watch our Noticeboard for updates.
