Yes, its that time of year again! The countdown to the end of season dinner begins... and tickets are NOW on sale.

Due to the increase in membership, and the success of our first foray there last year, this year’s Dinner-Dance & Awards will again be at the Tortworth Court Four Pillars Hotel. This is the club’s BIG annual event, where we come together to celebrate another successful season.
Dress code for the event is 'Black Tie'.

Tickets can be purchased via our website – www.wottonhockeyclub.org
Please log in, click on ‘Payments’, scroll down to ‘Other Products’, click on the relevant ticket and select your menu options – easy! If buying more than one ticket, please ensure that partner or guest names are included where indicated (it states 'add member' but you don't have to add any details other than their name)– this helps with the table plan and food selections! Also, if u18 this prompts you to insert the name of your ‘responsible adult’…

The event has been an oversubscribed sell out in recent years and though we have a much greater capacity at our new venue we are still expecting demand to be very high so, getting your tickets early is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

Ticket prices are:
£35 Adult
£30 student/unwaged

The dinner is open to:

  • All current senior members & their partners (incl players u18 who play senior XI hockey)
  • Club umpires, supporters, parents, volunteers and other guests of players and the committee
  • Parents of junior (u8/10/12s) and youth (Badgers/Vixens players)

Note there will be SEPARATE Junior & Badgers/Vixens end of season events this year, details will follow in due course...

Please also note that at the dinner:
(a) Any players under 16 who regularly play for a Senior XI must be accompanied by a parent who will be responsible for them.
(b) Players aged 16-18 who regularly play for a Senior XI must be accompanied by a parent OR nominated adult (e.g. team-mate) who will be responsible for them.

The format of the evening is as follows:

  • 1830: Drinks reception (with complimentary Bucks Fizz on arrival) in the Atrium Bistro Bar
  • 1930: Three course dinner in the Westminster Suite with private cash bar, followed by speeches, the presentation of player awards and disco in the same area.
  • The cash bar is available until 0030 and the event finishes at 0100.

I’m promised that there will be no issues with ill-advised hotel staff asking the disco to finish early this year! This will be a ticketless event again, so your gocardless receipt via Pitchero is confirmation of your attendance.

After dinner coffee is not included but can be purchased on the night, as can bottles of wine from the cash bar. Prices have been kept as low as possible and only cover the costs of the evening.

*** Please can last year’s winners arrange to return their trophies as soon as possible ***

Look forward to seeing you there,
