8th July. Response to the recent emal has helped so the poll is closed however if you are still interested then please email sixtiesplus and I can put your name forward or on the waiting list.
29 Feb: CONFIRMED as 20/21 July – i.e. a week earlier. (Pitch already booked on usual dates.)
—————–
Saturday 20th July 10am to Sunday 21st July 4pm. This is a regular Thistles event; great social and very enjoyable on the two quality astros at Swansea University Sports Park, Sketty Lane, Sketty, Swansea SA2 8QB.
This is an “Open” event though a little fairness will be needed if heavily oversubscribed.
Last year Dragons wanted teams of mixed ages and abilities with no age streaming so open to all our Sixties Plus age groups.
There is either a dinner on the Saturday evening at the University or a BBQ.
Single room accommodation at the adjacent halls of residence (walking distance to ground but all single rooms) at £TBA + VAT per person per night for Friday and Saturday nights or only Saturday night is available if notified in advance. There are many hotels to choose from in Swansea and the Mumbles area.

Duisburg Germany fallen through
2024-07-19 10:00 - 2024-07-21 16:00
Duisburg 2024 for us has fallen through. They had limited spaces and because we were needing to send a mixed age team and this required dispensation (it is a WMH sanctioned event) we were put on standby if space allowed however the organisers have filled the slots available. They are happy for us to apply in 2025 by which time we should hope to be able to send two teams.

Location: Club Raffelberg, Duisburg, Germany. 25 minutes from Dusseldorf airport.
Date: Friday 19th – Sunday 21st July. Probably 10am Friday to 4pm Sunday
Thistles Teams: M70, M65 or mixed age M65 and under.

Open Day followed by AGM
2024-05-25 13:00 - 17:00
An open day, similar to the one we had hoped to run in December though this time in Glasgow, for all to come along and play hockey with other members. This will be followed by the AGM in the bar in the pavilion.
