NEWS/NOTICES

WET WEATHER INFORMATION

NOTICE TO ALL

The wet weather number to ring appears on the front page of the BHA Website (left hand side) and is: 1900 962 018

The menu of the BHA Wet Weather Hockey Information number has recently been updated to include additional venues to better reflect the different competitions and to speed up the process of accessing a particular menu option. The main announcement and menu is now as follows:

For information about matches and training at Brisbane Hockey venues please select from the following menu.

Press '1' for the State Hockey Centre
Press '2' for Burringbar Park
Press '3' for Redcliffe
Press '4' for Carina
Press '5' for Men's and Boys' Grass Fixtures
Press '6' for Downey and Rasey Parks.

Please note the following to save time and therefore call costs. When listening to the initial message (see above), and if the user already knows which selection they require, they can key in that option immediately and not wait for the menu to be fully read through.

At all times, each of the venues listed in the menu are responsible for making and updating the respective recording for their venue. With the exception of option 5 (Men's and Boys' Grass fixtures) the individual recordings for each venue should cover both training and fixtures. The Men's and Boys' Grass fixtures may (or may not) be relocated from time to time meaning that more than one venue may require access to update the recording.

REPRESENTATIVE NEWS
A number of our Junior Boys recently returned from Townsville where they competed as part of the Metropolitan North team in the QSS U19 Hockey. Drawn in the Pool that ultimately produced three of the four finalists our boys displayed the Saints spirit and played to their ability on the day.

Although not still strictly a Junior anymore I would still like to highlight the efforts of Max Gould who was selected in the Queensland U19 Schoolboys Hockey team to tour New Zealand in September/October as their Goalkeeper. Well done Max from the entire Club.

Note: The canteen conveners (John and Sharron) will not be attending Wednesday night training from 12 May onwards. To keep the canteen to open on Wednesday nights we need a volunteer to step forward to run the Canteen on Wednesdays.

UPDATE: As no-one within the junior section of the club has stepped up to run the Wednesday night canteen; it will now be closed for all canteen items. John and I would like to thank a mens player Lachlan Roberston who was going to take on the co-ordinating but has had to pull out due to obtaining a job up north, we wish Lachlan well in his new job.
