Be Prepared!
Some great results last week mean that there are now three Wapping teams topping their respective leagues (L1, L6, M4) with the M1 and M8 close behind in second place in their leagues. This weekend all of our adult teams are once again back in action and there are some key tips on getting prepped for Black Friday and the Christmas Social.
CHRISTMAS SOCIAL
There are only 2, yes that’s right, 2 weeks to go until the Wapping Christmas Social on Saturday 2nd December.
It will take place at Forge (near Bank) from 7:30pm to 2am. Tickets will cost £10 and will be available to buy through your team social sec.
After the successful Halloween outfits on show a couple of weeks ago I am expecting equally as impressive outfits at this Christmas social so get planning, crafting and organising now!
Back to Hockey
A reminder that if you have any friends, housemates or family who are looking to get into, or get back into, hockey, please do point them towards our ‘Back to Hockey’ sessions that happen every Tuesday evening 8:30-10pm at John Orwell.
The sessions are fun but also give everyone a chance to have a run around, meet new people and improve their hockey skills.
‘As the Vice Chair of Performance, I am thrilled to witness the transformative impact of our ‘Back to Hockey’ sessions. The commitment of our ladies first team players as coaches not only elevates the quality of instruction but also extends the opportunity for growth into the competitive season. This initiative epitomizes our dedication to making hockey inclusive, ensuring that the joy of the game is experienced by all’ - Lizzie Salmon, VIce Chair Performance
Easy Fundraising
With Black Friday coming up, there is literally no better time in the year for you to sign up to EasyFundraising.
EasyFundraising partners with over 7,000 brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice. It won't cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the brand.
Our cause is Wapping Hockey Club and we’ve already raised £2.7k for club for purchases from EasyFundraising.
As we approach Black Friday and all the sales – this is a great time to check easyFundraising or use their Donation Reminder browser extension to see if your purchases can raise money for Wapping.
Club member Iain Davidson has increased the donation payments for Three Mobile if you go via https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/retailer/three-mobile/ with donations going up to £50.00 per purchase, as well as some great Black Friday deals on phones, SIM only contracts and broadband.
And if you don’t need to change your phone contract, have a look at great offers from loads of retailers such as Amazon, Adidas, Apple, Expedia, JustEat and more – all who will donate money to Wapping when you purchase!
Socks are back!
Wapping hockey socks are back in stock 🎉
They’ll be available for pick up from JO or LV from MONDAY next week.
Apologies to anyone who’s ordered socks for the delay.
Movember
The M3 are almost half way through Movember with varying levels of facial hair growing success (see below).
Please do continue to donate here.
A Time to say goodbye

There is no dress code but you may want to remember Vicki's love of the colour purple & Newcastle United ❤️
