That’s a wrap
And just like that we have come to the end of the 2023/24 hockey season, a huge congrats to the L1, L6 and M8 who secured promotion (more detail below) and a massive thanks to all players, coaches, umpires, volunteers and supporters who contributed to the club this year. We can’t wait to celebrate with the whole club at the End of Season Dinner on Saturday.
Final league results
A huge congrats to the Ladies 1, Ladies 6 and Mens 8 who secured promotion for next season.
Only dropping 5 points all season, the Mens 8 dominated Div 6 East with highlights including a 11-1 win over East London 8 and an 8-1 win over THD.
The Ladies 6s similarly dominated Div 6 East with a huge 58 points. Winning 19/20 matches the L6 were unbeaten all season and achieved a positive goal difference of 92! Regularly scoring 5+ goals, highlights included an 11-1 win against THD and a 9-0 win against Southgate.
Finally, the L1 remained top of the league all season, battling until the end with Surbiton and Barnes to win London Prem by 1 goal (eek) following a 5-2 win over Hampstead & Westminster. This has earned the L1 promotion to national league (East Conference) for the first time in Wapping’s history.

EOSD AFTERS
As if you couldn’t get more excited for Saturday, our cracking social squad have secured an after party at Kapture (right next door to the venue) so the fun and dancing can continue until 2am. What does this mean? Pace yourself, people, and make the most of what will be an epic evening.
Reminder: Dinner is being served at 7pm sharp so all teams must arrive by 6:30 at the very latest.
AGM
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Monday 29th April at 7pm. This year's AGM will be online, and an agenda will be circulated in due course. Google Meet link here
The AGM is an opportunity to review and discuss the 2023/24 season, and set out plans for next season.
Any resolutions or motions for the AGM should be submitted to the Secretary account no less than 7 days before the meeting (by 22nd April). Any proposed changes to the Constitution or Rules should be sent no less than 14 days before (by 15th April). Under-18s can attend, but not vote.
AGM will:
Hear and vote on reports from the Chairs and other Executive members.
Hear and vote on reports of any sub-committees and their recommendations.
Consider and pass motions from members.
Set out a plan for elections.
We need 15% of the club to be present for the AGM to run, so all the more reason to attend. Any questions or queries, please get in touch with the Secretary account, or Chair Helen Rogers.
IN case you still haven’t done ‘em…
Wapping corporate league sign up. As mentioned last week, all Wapping members are invited to sign up to be part of a Wapping team taking part in the City and Wharf Summer league. This year we will have 4 Wapping teams; Wapping Mutineers, Wapping Highwaymen, Wapping Husseys and Wapping Privateers! Please use this form to sign up.
Don’t forget to get your EOS raffle tickets to be in with the chance of winning a stunning Simon Wright gold and natural fancy cognac diamond bracelet. Even if you can’t attend the End of Season Dinner you can still be in with a chance to win, so share that link with all your pals and get your tickets now!
All team kit must be handed back at the end of the season so if you’ve got any shirts, balls or masks lying around, make sure you get them back to your captains this week. Any items lost will need replacing from your squad kitty, which means less cash for EOS drinks!
Still thinking about umpiring? Well good news! Now is the time to give it a go as CAWHL is the perfect opportunity for some easy going first games. Wapping can book and pay for your online level 1 umpiring course in exchange for booking in your first two CAWHL games. Reach out to Rogers if interested.
