It was so nice to be able to hold an end of season function, after a 3year hiatus. I would like to thank Kristine and her team at The Boat Shed, who set up the room beautifully. Blue lights, candles, table clothes plus white chair covers and serviettes, finished off with blue balloons blown up and tied together by Emma Pizzey. Thank you Emma.
The food was delicious and there was plenty to go around. Thank you Lisa Speedie for doing up the Fruit Platters, they were very nice.
Our Lucky Door Prize which was a hockey stick donated by HockeyWorld was won by Tyler Peachey.

What a great way to finish our Hockey Season of 2022 than with a win.
It has been a privilege to play each Monday night with these lovely ladies.
Thank you for allowing me to keep playing, I think the social part of Masters as well as playing helps keep me healthy & feeling younger.
I aim to be back next Season.
Congratulations everyone, you all played so well tonight.
