The Mitcham Spirit
A year at Mitcham Ladies Hockey Club
Mid to late September: The week before the start of the season, we play a friendly game and celebrate with our annual cake party. During the season, we train on Wednesday evenings and play matches on Saturdays.
Early December: Last match of the first half of the season, followed by the annual club Christmas Party at the Rose & Crown.
January: Start of the second half of the season.
Late March or early April: End of the hockey season. On Saturdays we do Parkrun instead.
May to July: Summer league. Fortnightly, we play slightly shorter games on a weekday evening.
August: AGM at the Rose & Crown.
Throughout the year, we also have socials of a wide variety. Some past examples include, a puzzle tournament, board games night, Halloween silent disco, fireworks, Bongo’s Bingo, a sport days picnic on Wimbledon Common, waterboarding, and tennis.
