This is the dawning of the age of..............(to the tune of age of aquarious!)

With the dawning of a new decade so too is soon to birth a new season of that great sport of Hockey.

The Old Farts had an up and down season on the field last year, but most felt it was one of the best for a social and team spirit feeling for years. The Old farts even triumphed over the young guns, to settle the question of superiority for all time.

Soon (about 8 weeks) it will all start again, so this is your opportunity to recommit to this band of jolly (well they all look like a jolly friar tuck, balding, with a rippling beer keg stomach) men (plus Nuts).

Who amongst you is game to again girth yourself in the red and black and take on the rest of the world? It’s time to put your names forward, so we can start to view the depth of experience that we will have in the team (and add up the playing years too).

We debated the issue of a end of season trip to Napier last year, but due to extreme late notice didn’t advance it, however we are keen to go this year and do battle in their masters tournament.

To this end we would like to look at getting our own shirts, with our names on them (you know, Nuts, Trapper, Vietchy, Gok etc.

So, I’d like you to think (not too long or at your age you’ll forget what you were supposed to be thinking about) and let me know if you are keen for another season of hockey, then we can do some maths (probably have take off my shoes and socks) re cost of shirts etc and I’ll get off my small and petite bottom and try to get some sponsorship for them.

So, whose in!
