BBHC 2005/06 End of Season Dinner & Awards

Saturday the 1st of April, the highlight in the BBHC social calendar for the 2005-2006 season. The red carpet was rolled out for the prestigious awards ceremony at Bexleyheath Sport's Club. After the stars of BBHC had fought their way past the awaiting paparazzi they entered the main function full of fellow athletes dressed up for the occasion.

As pleasantries were swapped between the superstars of the English hockey leagues , the serious business began, DRINKING!

Before too many people were too intoxicated , everyone were ushered to their seats for the culinary delights of the prawn cocktail or cheese and leek tart starter followed by the main course of sausage and mash (or chicken chausser) washed down with the obligatory alcoholic beverage. Thanks goes to the kitchen staff for the fantastic effort for the food and to the attractive waitresses for putting up with a room full of drunk hockey players.

Finally after the food was finished and glasses again topped up the host for the evening Paul Harvey took centre stage (well for the men anyway) and announced the awards.

Men's Winners
Veterans Player of the Year -Peter Richmond
6th Team Player of the Year -Joe Brown
5th Team Player of the Year -Jonathan Rookes

2nd Team Player of the Year - Sarah Brine
1st Team Player of the Year - Karen Hall

Club Woman of the Year - Julie Somers-Bayley
Special Mentions - Alison Prior - Relentless effort in organising the 3rd XI.

After the presentations had taken place, lasting 1 hr and 13mins compared to the expected 30 mins, (correctly guessed by Tina Bosworth in the sweepstake) the music kicked in (Roxanne by the Police being a particular favourite) and the celebrations continued to the early hours of the morning.

Thanks goes to Julie Somers-Bayley for her efforts organising the evening and to Sam Hall, Carol Hall, Karen Hall and Phil Price for helping to prepare the club.

Arundel Castle 10k Run 2005 - A belated Thank you

A big belated thank you to everyone who participated in the Arundel 10K run back in August (Chloe, Georgina, Ben, Jamie and Pingu ... ohh and me) and also a big thank you to everyone who sponsored us. In total we collected £946.00, of which 50% was donated to the Greenwich & Bexley Hospice and 50% will go to developing hockey within our club.

Arundel was a spectacular setting for this event and the run was ....... hummm ...... hilly, but very picturesque. We all really enjoyed the day and even the 10K run part (well that is what they told me anyway). Thanks again to everyone ..... but watch this space. I will be arranging a similar event next year and this time I will give you all plenty of notice, so no excuses.

Peter

Sunday 28th August 2005 - Arundel Castle 10k Run

Do you fancy ..................

  • Raising money for the Club?
  • Raising money for a local Hospice?
  • Raising your fitness for the coming season......?

Then come and join me in the Arundel Castle 10k (fun!) run on Sunday 28th August. The run is open to anyone, so you do not need to be any particular standard.

I am organising for sponsorship forms to be printed and have the entry forms, so all I need now is to know who would be willing to take part !!!! Half of the money that we raise will go to the club and the other half will be donated to The Greenwich and Bexley Cottage Hospice. It only costs £6 to enter and it is supposed to be a very picturesque run.

If anyone is interested in running or making an early donation please let me know by sending me an e-mail to .

Cheers,
Peter
