Hockey Headlines – Underway
It’s Starting to Feel Like a Hockey Season .
After a plethora of games, some intra club, we have a very full schedule at Lought’s on Saturday 17th , currently with 7 Games followed by games on Sunday as well .
Mini’s Kick Off Fundraising
Last Saturday saw the start of the new FUNdraising Project with some awful puns but some excellent activity with the Mini’s Fundraising Team rocketing into the lead with a sale of pre- loved kit . More donations came in this week and so their efforts will continue to raise money and save the Planet , this Saturday during Mini Hockey. Please buy up whatever is available to get some great deals and of course donate any loved but outgrown kit. What can your team do ?
Bar & Kitchen Starting to Open .
We had a bit of a test run through with the bar open on Thursday evening, the food was well received and we got lots of positive feedback and will be making a few tweeks and expanding the range as we go along . Members need to know more about the naming of Lou's new Beefburger Creation - "Lou's Brazillian Bombshell Burger" .
You can order your drinks online https://oldloughtonians.touchtakeaway.net , at the moment pay by credit card on delivery rather than via the web page but we will have that resolved shortly.
For Pale Ale drinkers we have sourced a local brewery in Forest Gate and are serving Session Pale Ale from the “ Pretty Decent Beer Co”along side our normal repertoire whilst it is under review . If popular there is a chance that the Brewery will produce a “Lought’s Ale”.
We need to observe the rules around Covid so all drinks will be served ( and need to be consumed) sitting down, or possibly after a few , laying down may be allowed – but not standing up !
Summer Sevens
There are so many plans to make up for lost time playing hockey , that it is now difficult to find a slot to play . However, after a successful reopening of the bar, and sunny , if not warm, weather – the plan is to run a Social Summer Sevens Matches on balmy Friday evenings , with a few drinks and the occasional BBQ . Dates need to be worked out, some help in organising/volunteers sought but Watch This Space.
The Club Shop
The shop is open for business at usual training and match day times , thanks for those who have fed back recommendations to Ali , he’d appreciate a few more so chip in at :

Enjoy your fun in the sun and don't forget to get your teams plans together for funraising for the Project for the extended terrace.
