Easy Fundraising

Posted on by

Did you know that whenever you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for Cliftonville HC with easyfundraising?

There are over 4,000 shops and sites on board ready to make a donation – including eBay, Argos, John Lewis, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S – and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.

All you need to do is:

  1. Go to this website and join for free.
  2. Every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping.
  3. When asked for a cause, search “Cliftonville HC” – you’ll see our logo too.
  4. After you’ve checked out, the retailer will make a donation to Cliftonville HC at no extra cost to you whatsoever!

There’s an app too, in case you shop on your mobile more than on your computer… The #easyfundraising App is the easiest way to raise for Cliftonville HC when you shop on your mobile. It’s completely FREE and available on iOS and Android, so please get it now to make sure you don’t miss out on any donations for us! Download it here.

There are no catches or hidden charges and Cliftonville HC will be really grateful for your donations.

Strava Challenges

Lockdown 2.0 is almost upon us, so we’ve decided to pick up some challenges and keep you motivated through the next month (or so) until hockey returns. We’re starting on Monday 9th November…

Each member completes an activity, and points are awarded. Points are totalled weekly and are assigned to your team. Teams are based upon who you would usually train with / play matches for. Please remember to workout safely, and distanced from others.

First? Join Strava. Second, join our team (you have to request, and I’ll respond ASAP). Third, get active and banish the Lockdown Blues. There might be prizes. We’re thinking about it.

October Update

Posted on by

Hey. So we’ve made it to the 10th month of the longest year ever.

Our Kit shop is open – but only until midnight on Sunday 18th October… You know you’ve only a week left to buy stuff, right? Best crack on!

This season depends on you, the member. We need you to be on the ball. You gotta have your track and trace form from England Hockey completed. You gotta have your Club Membership Form completed. You gotta have your subs paid. All the info regarding prices is available on the Membership page of our website… Yes, there are a lot of links here, but armed with all the information in one place, you can do your part.

In other, more fun (and slightly competitive news), we also have a Strava group! Come and join us.

Socially Distanced Hockey

Posted on by

We’re back! Well, sort of. England Hockey published guidance, and the Executive Committee have worked alongside SLC to ensure we have a safe and compliant option for a phased return. Click on the picture below for the full EH document.

What does that mean at Club level? It means attendance is very limited, social distancing applies, and if rules aren’t followed, you’ll be asked to leave.

Tickets for our sessions will be available via our shop from 7pm on Thursday for the following week’s groups. One ticket per person, and tickets are non-transferable. Any questions? Get in touch via email, facebook, or your Captain. Here are our rules:

Finally, above everything else, please stay safe!

Kit Update!

Posted on by

You should all have your hoodies now – the other items are at the clubhouse waiting to be collected. Best make sure you visit sometime soon… Please note that only captains can hand out kits – the last thing we’d want is for any to go wandering off.

Sadly, some of the socks came in the wrong sizes. This has already been addressed, and we’ll have the right sizes very soon.
