Hockey Hop

Hockey Hop

To celebrate the victories of the season and to drown their defeats in the syrup of modern music the two hockey clubs recently held a combined dance (hyperbole) in the Gym. Under the glib guidance of the Great Bogle and his ever-ready assistant some forty or more hockey players of mixed sex spent a pleasant evening rotating each each in an infinite series of circles (concentric if you like) in a manner barely comparable with their slick linear velocities on the field.

Margaret Ross wars presented with the prize for the most improved player of the year, while Daisy Filmer received from the Women's club an appreciation of her untiring efforts as Club Captain and Organiser.

Ever ready for stale fields to conquer, a team from the well-known battery firm presented a fresh challenge to 2B through their liaison officer, Ken Kiddle. It was explained that their failure to outflank us last time was due to an unfortunate incident (namely a beano) which preceded the game by some twelve hours. Provocative notes addressed to the members of the 2B team and inciting them to battle were read to a gaping audience.

Supper was served and on this appetising note the function closed, winding up the events of a highly successful year.
