End of 2012-13 Season Notes

Junior Bison Girls are flying the flag of ice hockey excellence

Congratulations to Emily Harris and Lucy Beal, from the U12 Bison for being selected to attend the England U16s Girls School of Excellence.

Following selection to the England Girls U16 South team earlier this year both players have impressed the England coaches so that they have now been included in the England U16 Girls training squad. The girls will attend the School of Excellence in Hull next month, during which they will face an intense week of on-ice and off-ice activities before the team which will travel to Finland is selected at the end of the week.

Congratulations to our successful South West team players

The selections keep coming through for the South West teams for 2013.  The following Bison players have now been selected - well done to everyone who made made the cut!

South West Conference U11 - Lucy Beal, Travis Penny & Sam Childs.

South West Girls Conference U16 - Lucy Beal & Emily Harris.

South West U15 - Jordan Lawday & Hallam Wilson.

New Online Payment System from 1st March

From 1st March the club is asking parents to pay subs through our new Localgiving.com Payment System. If you are a UK taxpayer using this service means we can claim the tax back via Gift Aid, potentially increasing our monthly funds by nearly £1000.

There is no risk involved and you can set up a direct debit for regular payments as well. Unfortunately the club can no longer accept cheque payments for subs due to the increasing cost of processing.  If you need any help setting yourself up on the system, speak to Carol at the rink, pop into the Skate Shop. 

We apologise for the short notice of this change, and appreciate the deadlines are tight to do this, but we hope you agree, we can not turn down the opportunity of “free” money.   If you do not have access to a computer, then Stewart has offered the use of his computer in the skate shop for you to set up your details.

New Social Media Policy

The club have introduced a Social Media Policy this month which the board requires all members to read & sign ASAP.  You can find a copy of the new policy at the top of our Policies & Forms page or open it direct from the link below.

 Social Media Policy 2013-14

 Please hand your signed copy to Carol Chandler at the rink.  Many Thanks.

Sponsor Graham as he runs to raise money for BIHDC

As a parent of 2 boys in the club, Graham knows it’s not a cheap hobby, so he thought he could use his running to help all the age groups raise funds equally between each year group, U10, U12, U14, U16, U18. The money raised could help towards new shirts, transport for the long distance games, tournaments etc 

We need to support Graham & raise as much as possible for the club as he runs the Paris Marathon on 7th April & London Marathon on 21st April, so download the sponsorship form below:
