SUMMARY:Euros - M65\, M70\, M75 Ludwigsburg - withdrawn
DESCRIPTION:With great regret we have had to pull our application for Ludwigsburg for our 65s\, 70s and 75s men and we shall not be attending. \nDecisions like this are not taken lightly.  Dispensations for under-age that we used to ensure attending IGMHF are not given for the Euros.  Some players we were expecting to be available for Thistles have been called into National.  Some are just not available due to the dates – schools restarting for example. \nContacts were made outwith Thistles but with a decision having to be taken before 23rd May or we lose our large entry fee there was not enough confidence of calling in sufficient guests to go ahead. \n—————- \nThe WMH European Championships are being held in Germany for M65 – M80 for National and Spirit of Masters (i.e. Thistles).  This is a selected event and Thistles will send the best squads we can. \n– Dates: Thursday 21st to Saturday 30th August.  (Note: the training session will probably be Wednesday 20th.) \n– Venue:  updated to Ludwigsburg\, Germany.  Event probably also extends to another club a short drive away. \n– Teams: Thistles M65\, M70 and M75 (also National) \n– Opposition: SoM teams from Europe and invited teams from across the world. \n– Format: six or seven full FIH rules matches. \n

SUMMARY:Dundee Festival - not this year
DESCRIPTION:With great regret we’ve had to decide to forego the immense joys of our Dundee Festival this year.  Feedback from teams who would have attended is that with the Euros straddling the Dundee dates * means that at the first registration date they could not commit to sending teams.  Rather than drag it out hoping for more attendees the Exec has had to make a sensible decision.  (* pitch availability limits the dates that we can hold our event.) \n2026: Watch out for the major relaunch with much fanfare of the Mike McInally festival – like the Dundee Festival but so much better… \n

SUMMARY:Dragons\, Swansea WEEK EARLIER
DESCRIPTION: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. \n29 Feb: CONFIRMED as 20/21 July – i.e. a week earlier.  (Pitch already booked on usual dates.) \n—————– \nSaturday 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. \nThis is an “Open” event though a little fairness will be needed if heavily oversubscribed. \nLast year Dragons wanted teams of mixed ages and abilities with no age streaming so open to all our Sixties Plus age groups. \nThere is either a dinner on the Saturday evening at the University or a BBQ. \nSingle 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.

SUMMARY:Duisburg Germany fallen through
DESCRIPTION: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. \n  \nLocation:  Club Raffelberg\, Duisburg\, Germany.  25 minutes from Dusseldorf airport. \nDate: Friday 19th – Sunday 21st July.  Probably 10am Friday to 4pm Sunday \nThistles Teams:  M70\, M65 or mixed age M65 and under.
