Frozen Games / Sessions

This winter is expected to be the coldest for five years. The information below applies throughout the club, Juniors and Seniors, in the event of fixtures / training being called off due to freezing temperatures.

Our pitches are usually inspected quite early as we need to notify opposition teams who, when playing against our 1s, tend to travel a fair distance to get here. As a result we get an early call on home games. Away games are usually as the message gets through but Captains should be in touch directly, in the first instance, of a cancellation taking place.

As has been the case over the last couple of weeks with Mens Training on the 29th and Ladies Training on the 24th, cancelled training sessions will be given as much notice as possible in advance of potential poor conditions / an unsuitable playing surface but please be aware that we’re often relying on future forecasts.

In the event of cancelled games / training we will, as early as possible;

• Post it on the Lindum Hockey Club (on very cold days, one post is usually updated throughout the day for multiple fixtures)
• Announce it on Twitter and Facebook
