Please read and pass on to all HAW Hockey family and friends.

Recently we found out that a member of the HAW family has been given some terrible news. Andrew Maggs (long-time member of Magpies and 261 games for Spitfires) has been diagnosed with cancer and requires immediate treatment. The Magpies club are joining forces with Hockey Albury Wodonga and all its clubs to host a fundraiser on July 20 to raise money. The function will be a Cocktail Party with a Major Auction and raffles on the night. More details to come.

For now, we need donations for auction and raffle items.  There is already a committee working behind the scenes.  We are asking all who know the Maggs family to show your support by donating or seeking donations for the night. Donations can be in the form of vouchers, products, services or hamper items. Every donation helps.

Ideas include:

•             Holiday house accommodation, AFL game tickets
•             Vouchers (restaurant, hairdresser, day spa, photography, retail stores, coffee card, massage, yoga, golf, etc.)
•             Products (artwork, memorabilia, movie passes, firewood)
•             Hamper items for themed hampers (sporting goods, baby gifts, ladies and mens gifts, food/produce, chocolates, wine, beer, candles, bbq tools, soap, etc.)
•             Services (landscaping, handy man or trade services)

Think about who you know, where you work and what you could source or offer as a donation for the night.  Donations can be given to Darryl or Chantel at Magpies training/games or the HAW office.

We also need several volunteers to help on the night so please register your name with Darryl if you can assist.

Let’s all jump on board - rally together and promote this event. It is sure to be a fun night for all as well as supporting an important cause.

HAW is fortunate to have John Mowat (Coach Education Manager & Communities, Hockey Australia) visit us on the Monday, May 6th to deliver an Elite Club Coach Development Session.  Please RSVP by COB Thursday May 2nd to admin@haw.net.au

Venue                  Commercial club

Time                     6.00 – 9.00

Catering               Some finger food will be available at 6.00 and the session starts at 6.30

Cost                     $50 

 

The Coach Development Seminar is targeted at people within your Clubs who mentor or train other coaches or are looking to take on this responsibility in the future. The seminar aims to equip coach developers with the required knowledge to 'coach the coaches' - i.e., the seminar will focus on the 'how to' coach and how to teach coaching principles/techniques to less experienced coaches rather than on hockey specific skills.   It would be beneficial for all senior coaches.

We have some important positions that are still vacant.
Can you please canvas your members to see if you have anyone who would be willing to take these roles on. If these positions do not get filled, programs will be compromised and in some instances will not be able to be held.
