Whether you're still a regular on the pitch or haven't picked up a hockey stick since school, we’d love to see you back at Canford for a friendly day of hockey, laughter, and reconnecting with old faces.
All Old Canfordians, of all ages and abilities are welcome to play or spectate. Matches will be organised based on sign-ups (mixed teams likely), and it’s all about the fun, not the formality!
Please arrive 10:15 for tea, coffee and shortbread to fuel your game. Play starts at 10:45 - competitive, friendly, and full of team spirit.
A light informal standing lunch will be served in the Heffield Marquee.
Cost: £5 per head (players & spectactors)
Please note that photographs will be taken at the event. If you do not wish to be in photographs, please let the photographer know.
Final details will be sent a couple of days before the event.
