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  This will only be refunded if your Coordinator declares that you have been replaced by another player\, or an event refund is received by Thistles or\, as per Thistles Bye-law 4\, where the Executive Committee agrees to look kindly on truly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 Ian Downie Norrie Springford Peter Haines Martin Petty Chris Kalman Murdoch Shirreffs Keith Raper

SUMMARY:The Mike McInally Hockey Festival\, Dundee - All Members
DESCRIPTION:11th June update:  As advised we are closing the poll.  You can still contact your Age Group Coordinator but you are no longer assured a place.  They will accommodate you as space allows. \n27th May update:  All 58 yr old upwards who put their name on the poll will be included in a team and you can therefore book your own accommodation.  Under 58s should apply but there may only be one team so we need to check numbers.  This will be looked at properly after the AGM. \n—————— \nThe new Apply For/Commit To system will not be used for this event.  Register by clicking the Submit button and all who enter will be entered into teams by the sorting hat. \nEVENT: The Mike McInally Hockey Festival\, Dundee \nDate: Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th July; Thursday starts around 12.30\, Sunday finishes around 4pm. \nLocation: Dalnacraig.  Mayfield Sports Centre\, High School of Dundee\, 193 Arbroath Rd\, Dundee DD4 7HS. \nThistles Teams:  All Men or Ladies members and any guest who has an interest in Thistles. \nOpposition:  In addition to LX\, Dragons and Shamrocks hopefully: Holland\, South Africa and others. \nDundee\, now renamed “The Mike” is our own festival and the aim is for all members to be able to play.  Officially the age groups are from 60s upwards and will be grouped based on teams entering.  There is allowance for underage and we may organise a “festival” team outwith the specific age groups.  So if in doubt apply.  The Mike is about the joy of masters hockey: play hard and socialise even harder and awards are given at the dinner to teams and players for their fair play and positivity. \nMore information will be posted in due course but the following is relevant.  Cost per player will be around £30.  The official dinner will be in the Invercarse Hotel on Saturday 4th July with a disco and ceilidh after. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dragons Swansea\, Men - 18/19 July
DESCRIPTION:Update 7th July:  Sorry to say that many of the Thistles regulars who would have attended are committed to training schedules for the World Cup which is in August.  After the re-marketing failed to produce a full squad I contacted Dragons and agreed to pass on the names of those interested in combining with Dragons to still enjoy the weekend but not in a blue shirt. If anyone else is still interested in playing as part of a Dragons team then please email me. \n———– \nThis is a regular Thistles event; great social and very enjoyable on the two quality astros at Swansea University Sports Park.  This is an “Open” event though a little fairness will be needed if heavily oversubscribed. \n– Date: CONFIRMED Saturday 18th July 10am to Sunday 19th July 4pm. \n– Venue:  Pitches are at King George V Playing Fields SA2 9AU.   The Sketty Lane entrance SA2 8QB is for the university building and the large overflow car park. \n– Teams:  Mixed age and ability teams from across out Sixties Plus age groups with scope for possible under-agers \n– Opposition: Dragons (2 or 3)\, LX (2)\, Gatfers and other west of England. \n– Format:  Multiple 50 mins matches. \nThere is either a dinner on the Saturday evening at the University or a BBQ at the pitch pavilion. \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. \nUse the  Submit button to register and once an Event Coordinator is appointed registration can also be done by contacting him.

DESCRIPTION:To avoid too many event listings we are using a combined Apply For for The Hague in July and the coordinators (once appointed) will sieve this and contact everyone direct. \n————- \nFor the European Championship strict WMH rules apply.  1) WMH age is the age you turn during 2027 –  I’m 69 and in May I turn 70 so my WMH age lets me play M70.  2) All our squads can take two under-agers within two years under; thus our M70 can take two who are WMH age 68 or 69.  3) You can play Scotland National and Thistles in the same year but not at the same WMH event (e.g you can play W55 Thistles in May and W60 Scotland in June).  For Thistles this is the only event this year run under these strict WMH rules.  Note: Special Dispensation could be sought outwith these rules (which we have previously done for Carlos to attend more than one event) but it does not have to be granted.  Please ensure you register for the correct event: \nMay 21-29 in Valencia is M55\, W55 and W65 \nJune 10-18 in Valencia is M60\, W60 and W70 \nJune 25-July 3 in Lille is M65\, M70\, M75 and M80 \nJuly 2-10 in The Hague is M35\, M40\, M45\, M50\, W35\, W40\, W45\, W50 \n————— \nThe HAGUE M35\, M40\, M45\, M50 and W35\, W40\, W45\, W50 – register interest (Apply For)\nDate: Friday 2 July to Saturday 10 July.  The organisers require you to be present on the Friday for registration.  Your coordinator may require you earlier than Friday for practice.  The final matches can be any time on the Friday or Saturday depending on standings and scheduling.  The schedule is unlikely to be available until six weeks beforehand. \nLocation: HC Klein Zwitserland\, Klatteweg 113\, KA Den Haag\, 2597 Netherlands.  Five water astros and one sand (usually for warm-up). \nThistles Teams from: M35\, M40\, M45\, M50\, W35\, W40\, W45\, W50.  Likely six or seven matches with at least one rest day. \nOpposition: European B teams and Spirit of Masters teams\, plus possibly invitees from Australia\, Canada and Argentina. \nClick the Submit button to register your interest: \n\nThe name list below is for the convenience of the Coordinator\, interest can also be registered by other means. \n\n			Submissions so far\n				Register now
