Let there be light!
Last weekend saw mixed results for the club but some good wins including the M9 in a derby clash against East London and the L3, both teams winning 3-0. This week the club will field all of its 17 senior teams so there is lots of action to watch at Lee Valley and John Orwell.
Note from the Co-Chairs
Short and sweet this week. Two big shout outs:
1st for Dom Oliver who said, Let there be light: and there was light. And Corrie saw the light, and it was good; JO divided the light from the darkness. Thank the hockey gods that be for all those who now see.
2nd for all those who attended the Committee meeting and for everyone’s input. Minutes can be found in the members’ area of the website (which your Captain should be giving you the password for if they haven’t already).

Subs
Thank you to all those who have already paid their subs, a reminder to everyone who hasn’t to get their payments in ASAP. The process is very simple through the club website and can be found here, but please do contact the treasurers if you have any problems. The treasurers would like to reiterate that they are more than happy to have a confidential conversation with any member who may be facing financial difficulty, particularly in the current cost of living crisis. At Wapping we want to make hockey as accessible as possible and don’t want subs to be a barrier to playing.
A reminder
It’s L’Ump month! All umpires should wear pink if possible and encourage oppo to do the same if they can. It would also be great for teams playing at LV to don something pink for their games (ribbons, socks etc) so any photos taken can be used to help publicise the campaign. Team and umpire donations for L’Ump month link can be made here.
