DHUFC @ The Wildcats

I am pleased to say we had many responses to my request for interest in this event and as a consequence are able to once again able to book seats to see Swindon npower Wildcats play Ice Hockey at the Swindon Link Centre in an English Premier League game.

Ice Hockey is quick, loud and great entertainment. Don't let the chance slip by to watch a fast and furious game with your mates from the Club.

This is a special event arranged between the Wildcats Kidzone and DHUFC.

Ticket prices are adults £4 and children £2.50. That's a massive saving of £13.50 on the regular admission price for a family of four.

Some come on, get your skates on and join DHUFC at the Swindon Link Centre on Saturday 10th March. It's a great spectator game, highly recommended to those who have not experienced it before.

Reserve your tickets before Saturday 3rd March. Simply email me your requirements, providing details of how many adult and child tickets you want. You are most welcome to book tickets for your family and friends for this event.

Note: Transport not provided, you'll have to make your own way to the Link Centre - doors open at 4.30pm for a 5.45 face-off.

Half Term Break

I hope you have enjoyed your football despite the weather since we returned to training after Christmas.

Whilst we have had the ground closed on a couple occasions I'm pleased to say that our pitches have survived pretty well thanks to sensible use by our coaches. It is satisfying to see that most of our squads are ahead, or at least on a par, with the schedule of their League opposition, so hopefully your child's League season won't be drawn out beyond the scheduled finish date of May.

In line with Club policy the first weekend of the school break sees the Club shutdown its activity. So no football this weekend (17/18 February). Enjoy your break and return refreshed for the weekend of the 24th. Remember to check the website or ring the pitch hotline (01249 811952) prior to travelling to the ground to find out whether our facilities are open or not.

You will find details of all Club activities and events on the Club Calendar.

Springfields School Bid Support

Springfields School is a key partner to our Club and has, over the past two seasons, offered DHUFC the capability to extend our training and match activities at their facility over the weekend.

Access to Springfields School has allowed DHUFC to extend the range of ages and groups to which we offer football. Without access to these additional pitches the Club would not be able to accommodate the 200 players and 13 squads solely at BSG. Currently most of our girls groups use the facility to train and play matches as well as the Flames and Fire who play Sunday afternoon 11 a-side matches there. As the Club continues to grow more squads will get to use the facilities at the site.

Springfields School has recently bid for funding to the Wiltshire Young Peoples Opportunity Fund (WYPOF) to extend its range of facilities to include a floodlit hardcourt training area. The school have indicated that if the bid is successful this facility would also be made available to their user community, of which we are one.

I ask that you take a look at the campaign website through which we aim to collect names of supporters of the bid. Please take a look, and if you feel this is a worthwhile cause, add your vote of support to the campaign. We intend to use your voice via this website to show the bid committee how much support this application has.
