Saturday 29th August - Media Day + Friendlies
As part of the plan for our upcoming season, we are looking to build our bank of content ready for use across our club website and social media channels.
On this day, each club member will be asked to sit for a couple of "headshots", be part of an initial pre-season team photo and then play a friendly as you normally would. Other willing members can be shown how to record mini-post match interviews providing the CHC social media team with consistent content focusing on your team and season.

Season starts - 12th September
The first official weekend of the new season is Saturday 12th September. Please please please get your availabilty confirmed on pitchero so captains can get sides selected. It really helps when players confirm early if available or not, and saves captains having to chase! Any questions just ask your captain!

New Kit?
Last but not least - now's the time to check your kit, and maybe get in an order for fresh "stash"?
Playing shirts, training tops, hoodies, shorts and much more available from our kit supplier STASH. Go to their website, ask your captain for the password if you have forgotten or misplaced it! For new players you will need to liaise with Katie Mycroft on shirt numbers (these are allocated).
New season is coming - are you ready?
