Hotel are offering great specials. A standard
room is $80 per night (includes a double and sin-
gle bed with ensuite). The rooms have been up-

Contact the POW Hotel to book.
A word from our President The lead up to a party can be very stressful for
any organizer. But the hard work and dedica-
tion is what makes for a wonderful celebration.
Emma Harris & Nat Fahey are working hard in
the background to make sure you have a fabu-
lous 80th anniversary night. To assist them make
sure you RSVP as soon as possible with your ta-
bles. Details are on page 1.
Complimenting this, Jo Traynor, Helen Wells &
Paul Ancher are fastidiously putting together the
Derwent memorabilia book and I am sure you
will be as excited as I am in anticipation of its
release.
Again these things take hard work, and every-
one is busy. If you are in anyway able to help
out with anything, whether it is supporting a
coach, cooking a BBQ or running a fundraiser
please do not hesitate to contact a committee
member.
On a final note, I cannot leave you without mak-
ing special note of the Womens Veterans. After
3 years in the veteran wilderness, Derwent Vets
beat OHA 5 –1 on the 20th May and followed
it up with a 1-0 win against University. It was an
extra-special achievement considering that the
players have only been together for 8 weeks. I
am a little biased, but go girls!

JUNIORCORNER
will notify clubs of turf closure and junior coordina-
tors/coaches will contact you. If the turf is not flooded
and only raining, games will go ahead. Always turn
up to games unless notified by junior coordinators/
coaches. If rain becomes heavy the Groundsman
makes a decision at the start time whether to cancel
games if it is dangerous. This is normally not an issue
for turf 1 & 2 as they dry out quickly.
SUBS
Early Bird—19th June 2015 (money will be deducted
if paid by then)
All subs need to be paid by 19th July 2014
If you need to set up a payment arrangement contact
John Harris—[email protected]
Wet Weather Procedures The recent rain has prompted the junior coordina-
tors to remind the members of the procedure for
training and game cancellation in the event of wet
weather. Hockey is a winter sport and games are
not cancelled due to rain. However we do not want
kids training in the rain.
Training—Unfortunately Turf 3 is prone to flooding
after continuous rain. The Groundsman at the
Hockey Centre will inspect turf after 3pm as it usu-
ally takes 1– 2 hours to dry out after heavy rain. If
turf is flooded it is usually closed by Hockey Tas
and Clubs are notified. The Junior Coordinators/
coaches will notify everyone to let them know that
training is cancelled. If the turf is okay, then it is a
Club decision if we train, and the junior coordina-
tors usually consult with the coaches around 4ish . If
rain persists we will cancel training and notify eve-
ryone. If you don’t hear from the coordinators and/
or coaches the training will go ahead as scheduled
and it is the parents decision as to whether you
send them along.
Games—All games on Turf 3 follow the same pro-
cedure as training. IF turf is flooded Groundsman
