Heriot-Watt Hockey Club

Today is the day!

The talking is done, the debates are largely settled, and the razors are charged...

At 9PM tonight, several of the 1st team squad will be shaving their heads in the name of charity.

Every donation has been hugely appreciated by everyone involved, and Myeloma UK have been in contact with us over the past week to thank everyone for their support.

The team will be meeting via video at around 8.30pm for the pre shaving formalities, and we plan to have photos, videos and disasters ready to share with the world from 9pm.

Make sure you’re following the club Instagram to see the first cuts!
Everything will be on Facebook after!

Fundraising Update

The boys will be shaving their heads on Thursday evening and the debate over the protection of an endangered beard rages on...

We have already raised well over half of our target in just a couple of days and we’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the cause so far!

Please keep sharing and we hope you enjoy the grooming massacre to come!

WATT COLLABORATE | CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!

It is time to submit your volunteer hours for the 2019/20 academic year. Remember that these are cumulative, so even if you haven't done that many this year, they are added to your previous years or future years so you can be awarded for your total contribution across your time at Heriot-Watt. This applies to whatever capacity in which you've volunteered for your club, whether that's as a committee member, covering a training session, officiating a fixture or driving a minibus!

You can use the following template (please download and save as a new copy with your name in the File Name) ( https://buff.ly/2z0QpEh ) or any other format you have already been recording your hours on. This can then be uploaded to the following form before Wendesday 22nd April: shorturl.at/cpxNR 💙💛

Any questions can be directed to [email protected]

AMBASSADOR APPLICATIONS OPEN❗️

Do you fancy getting more involved with the Sports Union?

This volunteering opportunity allows you to take on more responsibility, gain some life long experience (which is brilliant for the CV) and most importantly meet new people and have a great time🥳

Over the years we have always had a great HWUHC representation within the Ambassador Team, and we fully recommend the opportunity🌟

Check your emails for direction on how to get involved (if you haven’t received an email and wish to get involved, let us know).

Finally, if you have any questions or queries please feel free to contact any past ambassadors: Rory Saunders, Emma Cornwell , Annabel Armstrong, Ellie Kemsley and Kimberley Murray 💙💛

⚠️ COVID-19 UPDATE⚠️

Unfortunately due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic, Varsity 2020 has been suspended until further notice.

In addition we hope to reschedule our end of season dinner but due to the uncertainty of the situation, this cannot be promised.

We are so sad to see this season come to such an abrupt end 😞 But the health and safely of our members, friends, families and others are a priority so cancelling all sporting and social events is a must.

Please everyone stay safe and if you feel sick at all, please take other people into consideration and self-isolate 💛 & as always if anyone feels at all worried, stressed or anxious about the situation HWUHC is always here to help in any way we can 💙💛
