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SUMMARY:Euros - M65\, M70\, M75 Ludwigsburg - withdrawn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:Tilburg - Commit to - M75/80
DESCRIPTION:This page is open so that potential players can read the advice.  Note: the financial commitments will not apply until the squad is confirmed which is due before the end of January.\n  \nThank you for applying for Tilburg M75/80.  If you no longer wish to attend then please let the Coordinator know immediately as there may be other people on standby.  By clicking the SUBMIT button you commit to the financial commitments *\, the requirements of your membership of Thistles and to any conditions specific to this event.  Information about Thistles event procedures\, forms and how to pay are on our website under Members Area.  Any conditions specific to this event are shown below. \n* Non-players: coach\, manager\, umpire or other designated role are not charged a non-refundable deposit and to avoid misunderstandings (and yet another form) please use the Comments box after you hit the Submit button to state your role. \n1) FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS \nThe non-refundable deposit for this event has been set at £40. \nPlayers agree to pay the non-refundable deposit and this will be charged to your Thistles balance whether you attend or not and even if your squad withdraws or the event is cancelled.  This will only be refunded if your Coordinator declares that you have been replaced by another player\, or an event refund is received by Thistles or\, as per Thistles Bye-law 4\, where the Executive Committee agrees to look kindly on truly exceptional circumstances (injury and clash of personal events are not exceptional).  Where your portion of the costs do not reach the deposit amount then a partial refund will be made. \nEveryone agrees to pay for additional charges (e.g. lunches\, official dinners\, clothing\, gifts etc) decided upon by you or by your squad.  These will be charged to your Thistles balance under all circumstances except where the benefit is transferred or the costs recovered or the charge cancelled. \nPlayers should now top up your Thistles balance by £40 for your non-refundable deposit to secure your place.  For additional costs your should transfer any amounts as soon as known. \nClick for payment information. \n2) £1 LEVY \nDue to event payment closing dates being before a squad is finalised Thistles takes a risk in paying to attend an event.  However we are not in a position to absorb any shortfall on recovering the entry fee from players.  So\, to mitigate situations such as Covid\, we are raising a sinking fund of £1000 by charging a levy of £1 per player per event (thus about £15 in total will be added by this event).  Once the sinking fund is full the levy ceases until the unwanted situation where the Executive Committee decides that the sinking fund needs to be utilised. \n3)  PERSONAL COSTS \nYou are solely responsible for your own travel\, accomodation and expenses whether you attend or not or the squad withdraws or the event is cancelled. \n4) THISTLES MEDICAL DECLARATION FORM \nYou must bring your Thistles Medical Declaration form in its sealed envelope (click the link or see website under Members Area). \n5)  PERSONAL TRAVEL and MEDICAL INSURANCE \nWhilst playing\, to cover those involved and to cover Thistles we have arranged basic playing insurance.  At time of posting this page the policy was still being arranged and full details will be shown on the Members Area once known. \nPersonal insurance is strongly recommended but it is complicated.  For events outside of the UK your UK GHIC card helps.  Your personal choice of Medical Travel Insurance may cover you but it may not and the only way to be sure is to declare to your insurer that the trip is for “organised competitive amateur field hockey”. \n  \n\n  \nUSEFUL INFORMATION\na) BOOK YOUR TRAVEL \nArrival: Thursday is recommended as the first game can be at noon on the Friday.\nReturn: Can be based on leaving the pitches after 3.30pm Sunday 27th April. \nSchiphol Airport is 2 hours from Tilburg.  A direct train runs from underneath the airport to Tilburg centre.  Intercity is direct and charges a premium; National trains involve a same platform change\, are cheaper and almost as quick.  The NS app for booking and paying for tickets is very efficient.  Nearer the time we’ll see if it is possible to offer a mini-bus taxi for the return on the Sunday. \nNote: the new European Union access/visa system will be in place for this trip and delays are possible. \nParking is available at the ground but very busy.  If turned away there is parking at the university\, a ten minute walk back to the pitches. \nb)  BOOK YOUR HOTEL \nFor Tilburg the three we usually use are:\n– Auberge du Bonheur.  Close to ground.  Expensive.  Probably full.\n– Hotel Mercure.  City Centre.\n– Hotel Ibis.  On the ring road for those with cars. \nRoom sharing:  Let your coordinator know that you wish to share and use the various WhatsApp groups to arrange. \nc)  FOOD and SOCIAL \nYou are welcome to go with your pals\, your squad or anything offered as a group.  Your WhatsApp group will help coordinate.  Typically:\n– Thursday evening: self arranged.\n– Friday evening: like last year it is probable that a large (huge) group take a meal together in Tilburg centre.  There is also an official offering at the pitches.\n– Saturday evening: there is a well-presented and very popular official dinner dance at the pitches.  Meanwhile another group of us took a meal together in Tilburg centre. \nLunches.  Tilburg offer a packed lunch for the squad which is satisfactory and convenient – this is paid for in advance and your coordinator will advise if this option is being taken.  Sandwiches are available though not always and service can be slow.  There is a small cafe in the middle of the forest but few other walkable options or shops. \nPayment for beer\, coffee\, sandwiches and wine for the dinner are paid for by tokens which are not redeemable at the end and change every year.  The suggestion is to coordinate the purchase as any excess makes for a huge number of jugs on the Sunday. \n  \nSubmissions so farPhil Joyce Donald Dunbar Anthony Walker Duncan Mitchell John Redman Sandy Weir Keith Raper Norrie Springford Peter Haines Martin Petty Chris Kalman Murdoch Shirreffs Ian Downie
