There's a few socials and fundraisers planned, including the great day out of the golf day booked for August 19th in Bray Golf Club, so keep an eye
out for more details. We've set the membership rates for next year (see membership page) and are in the process of recruiting coaches and new
members for next year. Have a suggestion? Know someone interested in coaching? Have a potential sponsor? Let us know!
With the season finishing, and with a number of our members now setting off around the world on new adventures, the club would would like to wish
the best of luck to all those emigrating or heading off for a while, including outgoing Club Captain Lauren Kelly and Ladies 1xi Captain Gemma Doyle.
You will all be missed ... so come back soon!!!

February 2011:
We are very grateful to the Wicklow Local Sports Partnership for awarding us a grant for our Keep in Touch (KIT) initiative. KIT is a strategic plan
to get and keep non-playing members involved with Bray Hockey Club , through umpiring, volunteering, coaching etc. In particular, we are encouraging
anyone who may have extra time on their hands (e.g.retired/unemployed/stay-at-home parents) to get involved.
If you or someone you know are interested, please contact us.
We have already started to put the grant to good use - we took an ad in the Wicklow Times in the "join our club" feature and sponsored 4 places
on the Leinster Umpire course
Gilmore Sports are now stocking all our club gear and even have an online shop set up for us - check out www.hockeyireland.com
Don't forget our fundraiser Poker Night on Februrary 25th in The Martello!!!

Matches and training are back in full swing, the committee had its first meeting of the year and there's even a few socials lined up (see calendar).
November 2010: The snow has taken us all by surprise so its every day at a time! Keep in touch with your captains and coaches about matches and rescheduling - and keep plenty of Saturdays free in the New Year for back matches!
