A summary of the responses to our Summer Questionnaire records as follows.
Competitons:
Majority of respondents wanted a repeat of the Burnt Ash Mixed Summer League. We'll organise the normal entry system ready for next week with a view to starting in mid-May as normal.
Most of the female responders wanted us to take over the running of the Gravesend Ladies Summer League, as they are running a mixed competition this season. We're trying to sort out what we can do to organise this.
There was some interest in a Men's Summer League, but not sufficient to make this worthwhile organising. However, we are waiting for England Hockey to send out information about a National Competition and may enter this.
Days you wanted to play:
Two-thirds of you preferred to play on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Thursday night was third most popular (52%), followed by Monday night (48%). Given this, we'll try and organise matches that play on these four nights. Weekends were less popular and don't seem sufficient to be able to sustain fixtures.
Can you help?
A few of you came forward to captain a team in the mixed competition, and a couple to help with the organising. This might make it difficult, but we'll see what we can arrange.
AOB
We'll take the comments on board and make a start on the mixed league in the first week of April.
