Poole Hockey Club

🏑 Pre-season plans are underway! 💪

We're gearing up for another exciting season with a programme packed full of fitness, skills, and pre-season friendlies to get everyone ready for the season ahead.

Whether you're returning to the pitch or thinking of joining us for the first time, now is the perfect time to get involved. More details, including dates and times, will be announced soon – so keep an eye on our socials!

We can't wait to see everyone back at training. 💙❤️

Parkrun: conquered! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️☀️

A very hot one today, but we all got round, cheered each other on, and somehow survived the heat! Plenty of sweat, a few red faces, and lots of smiles at the finish. Definitely one to remember! 🌞💦

Well done to everyone who ran today—you all smashed it! 👏

It's official... we've got a sign! 🎉🏑

No more "Is this the hockey club?" 😅

Our brand-new sign is now up and proudly welcoming everyone to Poole Hockey Club. Whether you're a seasoned player or fancy trying hockey for the first time, we'd love to see you.

Keep an eye out as you arrive—and don't forget to tag us in your photos! 💙

📸🏑 **Photo Rescue Mission!** 🏑📸

We're giving our photo folders a well-deserved clear-out, and before last season's snaps disappear into the digital abyss... 👋💨

If you're a player and you'd like any photos of yourself, now's your chance! Just drop us a message and we'll send them over.

⏰ **Deadline: 14th July**

After that, it's goodbye to any unclaimed photos as we make space for another brilliant season! 🏑💙

Go on... you know you want that action shot (or that goal celebration pic you forgot about! 😉)

🎉 **SAVE THE DATE!** 🎉

📅 **Club Day – Friday 5th September**

Mark your calendars and get ready for a fantastic day of hockey, fun, and community at Poole Hockey Club! 💙🏑

Whether you're a player, parent, coach, volunteer or supporter, there'll be something for everyone. More details will be revealed soon, so keep an eye on our social media! 👀

We can't wait to see the whole club together for what promises to be a brilliant day.

💙🤍❤️

Park run at Poole Park this morning, followed by geese herding, followed by coffee ☕️

Great way to start the day ☀️

🎉 **End of Day 11 – Challenge Complete!** 🎉

Today's route took us from **Planpraz to Les Houches** for the final stage of our adventure.

The day began with one last climb up to **Brévent (2,525m)** before a long descent into Les Houches. We tackled around **600m of elevation gain**, **1,600m of descent**, more ladders 🪜, more snow ❄️, and covered **14km in 7 hours**.

And that's us... **DONE!** 💪🥾

We're celebrating the only way that feels right... with a well-earned 🍦 ice cream!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, followed our journey, donated, or cheered us on. It has meant so much. ❤️

There's **still time to donate** if you'd like to support the cause – every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

🏃‍♀️ **Parkrun Saturday!** 🏃‍♂️

Join us tomorrow morning at **Poole Park parkrun**! 🌳

📍 **Meet at the fountain at 8:50am** before we head to the start together.

Whether you're running, jogging, walking, volunteering, or just coming along to cheer everyone on, **everyone is welcome**! Bring your friends, family, kids, and well-behaved dogs 🐶.

Let's start the weekend with some fresh air, great company, and plenty of smiles. See you there! 💙

End of Day 10: Tré-le-Champ ➡️ Planpraz

17km, 9 hours, 1,500m up... and an unofficial bonus 3km thanks to some questionable navigation. 😂

The ladders in the heat were hard work, but the views across Mont Blanc were absolutely worth every sweaty step. 🏔️☀️

Today's lesson: getting lost is much easier when the scenery is this good.

One final day tomorrow before heading back to reality. For now, it's tired legs, happy memories, and an early night!
