On Saturday 17th July 2010 England Ladies are taking part in the World Champions Trophy in Nottingham. Also playing that day is the Great Britain mens team. The full schedule is shown below

10:00 - Netherlands v Germany - Women’s Champions Trophy 2010
12:30 - England v New Zealand - Women’s Champions Trophy 2010
15:00 - China v Argentina - Women’s Champions Trophy 2010
17:30 - 3rd v 4th - Men’s Four Nations
20:00 - Final - Men’s Four NationsThe men’s teams taking part are Great Britain, Germany, New Zealand and Japan.

I have come up with the following prices

£38.00 for concessions (children under 18 and those in full time education)

£45.00 for adults

This will include travel to and from Nottingham and entry to the tournament for the day ie to watch all the matches, except the first one, as we would need to leave around 7 o’clock in the morning!. Meals, drinks, souvenirs or anything else are not included.

Whilst I understand that this is not cheap, to watch four international games in any other sport would be considerably more expensive. I have not booked anything as yet, but the coach would go from the club, leaving at around 9 o’clock to get us there in time for the second game of the day between England ladies and New Zealand ladies. I would not expect us to return to the club until around 1 o’clock the following morning.

This offer is open to anyone associated with the club, not just to members and players and I would positively encourage parents grandparents, siblings and friends to come along. We may be able to take responsibility for some unaccompanied children from the club but this is subject to enough adult helpers going along.

I am not asking for any commitment at the moment just expressions of interest so that I can gauge whether it is a viable idea. Please let me know if you are interested with likely numbers of adults and children by Sunday 14th March. Feel free to email me or speak to me if you have any questions.

This is an unique opportunity to watch 4 matches of international hockey at a good price and should be an excellent day out.
