Bored on a Sunday?
What do YOU do with your Sundays?
Mixed Hockey is one of the most vibrant clubs here at Warwick, the emphasis being on fun and enjoyment rather than being strictly competitive. We meet on Sunday afternoons, starting with informal coaching for beginners (including those who've never lifted a stick!), progressing to a cheeky knockabout for anyone and everyone. We play several matches against other universities and local clubs as part of a bespoke mixed hockey league developed especially by us to get great games and great banter. We also go on three tours a year and host a large annual tournament. Most importantly, Sunday evenings are reserved for our infamous socials! What more could you want?
Sunday Training:
1 - 3pm for cheeky games and training exercises at Westwood Astros, mini tournaments etc... fun and games.
For week 1 we will be meeting people outside Costcutters at 12:30pm to take them across to the astros.
Then to Varsity for food and drinks!
Sunday Social
Meet at 7.30pm for an 8.00pm start in the Mighty Duck Sports Bar (Dirty Duck). Come along and get involved, chat about the week, play some games and have a drink, if you feel so inclined!
If any members have anything to contribute to the Club to improve it then just email us your ideas and we will look into it!
Tournamental!
Tournamental sees some of the country's best Mixed Hockey Teams assemble at Warwick in Term 2 (Week 8) to play in our legendary Tournament. The Saturday night involves a massive, themed social taking place in the Student's Union, with the hockey, barbecue and obligatory bouncy castle following on the Sunday.
Hockey Ball
The classiest social event of the year! We show men's and ladies how its done! This will be held in week 9 term 2: the event everyone wants to be at!
Mini TOUR
Mini tour gives you the chance to bond with other members, create mischief, and simply just get out of the Warwick bubble. Over the last four years we have launched successful mini-tours to Glasgow, Cardiff, Aberystwyth, Brighton, Southampton and Manchester where we faced off against the locals in what can only be described as epic battles of hockey, possibly with hangovers. Mini Tour is the highlight of Term 1 and is an event not to be missed!!!
Easter TOUR
The legendary annual tour has taken our members to such exotic climes as Poland, Italy, Spain and Hungary in the last few years. Most recently we headed to Porec in Croatia and we weren't disappointed. Flying out there to the sun drenched streets of Croatia with its squares and small cobbled streets. We had 5 fun-filled days, with plenty of night-time banter and hockey to boot.
Charity
When we're not playing hockey or drinking our sorrows away, Mixed Hockey are always finding new and innovative ways to make up for their shameful drunken escapades. This primarilly takes the form of charity work. Whther it's a good old fashioned bucket fundraiser or teaching at a local school, Mixedy loved to get involved in all things charitable.
Notable achievements from last year
- Mixed raised £1500 for Guy's Gift from our infamous DRAG week fundraiser! (Pictures on our website!)
- £300 raised for Bath Place from our spectacular Tournamental hockey event
- Another school succesfully scared from our Term 2 hockey in schools volunteering
and many others to look forward to next year!
So how does that sound? Any questions? Drop us an email or find us on a Sunday. Can't wait to meet you!
We're going to make 2012/13 the best year yet!
The Warwick Mixed Hockey Team!
