Come along to our first RUMS Women’s Hockey Freshers’ Taster & Social!
Whether you’ve played hockey for years or have never picked up a stick before, everyone is welcome. Come and give hockey a go, meet other freshers and get to know the club.
We’ll play from 2–4pm at Southgate, then stay for free pizza, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks before travelling back to campus together for the first RUMS Freshers’ Sports Night at Mully’s.
No experience or equipment needed, just come along!
🏑 The taster
No previous hockey experience is needed. Whether you're completely new or are a seasoned pro, come along and get involved.
The session runs from 2–4pm at Southgate Hockey Centre. Wear sports clothes and bring water. If you have a stick, shin pads and gumshield, bring them along, but we can provide equipment if you need it.
There are changing rooms and showers at the venue, as well as somewhere to leave your bags while you play.
📍 Getting there
We’ll meet at George Farha Café beforehand and travel to Southgate together, so you don’t need to worry about finding your way there.
You can also meet us directly at Southgate, just message us beforehand and we’ll send you the easiest route and where to meet us.
🍕 After hockey
After the taster, we’ll stay at Southgate for free pizza, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks, with plenty of time to meet our club members and other freshers.
Then we’ll travel back to campus together for the first RUMS Freshers’ Sports Night at Mully’s.
Sports Night brings all the RUMS sports clubs together, so it’s a great chance to meet loads of people, including other freshers from your year, right at the start of term.
There’s no pressure to come out afterwards. You can come for just the hockey, stay for pizza and drinks, or join us for the whole evening. If you are coming to Mully’s, bring a change of clothes and anything you want to get ready with after hockey.
