Match schedule
A temporary match schedule is now being made and will be published mid-March on our website www.isvt.eu

Unused coins can be returned and will be credited using credit/debit card.
Lunch, buffet and diner:
The registration for the lunch, Italian Buffet, and/or Dinner Dance has to be made between March 22nd and April 1st. Please find attached the Order Form. On the same form your choice for a Vegetarian dinner can be ordered. You are kindly requested to transfer the amount due before April 1st. Paying late might result in the chance that all seats for buffet and/or dinner-dance are taken. We will use the rule first come, first served.
Food, Drinks and entertainment
The clubhouse is located in a leafy, green area enabling all visitors and players to look out over the hockey pitches. The lunches, Italian buffet & Dinner dance are prepared with great care and consist of natural products.
Welcoming RECEPTION:
On Thursday & Friday we would like to welcome you with a free coffee or tea, with a typical Dutch Tidbit.
For Thistles Players going to Tilburg
I am paying the Auberge Hotel directly therefore will at some point want the remainder put into my account. Those staying there have all paid the deposit. For those staying elsewhere I am assuming you have sorted things out individually.
The tournament fee per head, with Bank costs, will be £30.00. Jim will debit this from your Club account before the middle of March.
I am anticipating that we will all wish to attend the Dinner Dance with partners if they are in attendance and have indicated such to the organisers. Fifty people I have said. This event will be £40.00 per person and we need to have this sum in by 25th March. I also need to know if people are vegetarian, vegan, gluten intolerant, etc by return.
Hope this is all clear. Just have £70.00 in credit for Tilburg please or remit to the Club account using Tilburg as a reference.
Any questions just ask, but do so before Sunday since I am heading off to Tenerife!
