Find out out more about the Dinner & how to bid for this inspiring signed GB Men's Hockey Shirt - even if you're not at the dinner !

Final countdown to getting your 007 outfits, handbags and glad-rags sorted for Friday's James Bond themed 2018 Dinner is underway !

We've 127 attending so its all set for a great night with our MC, Mr David Litt, guiding us through proceedings.

Don't forget its 7.00pm for a welcome cocktail ready to sit down for 7.30pm prompt. This is a change to the original timing due to the bumper attendance !

As well as being the social highlight of the year - the Dinner is also the change to have a great night and raise some funds to support the continued development and running of Timperley Hockey.

Each team has been asked to donate a prize for the raffle or auction to get the ball rolling !

For a one off donation of £10 (£5 under 18's) you get all the main fund-raising out of the way early with entry into:

- our 007 themed version of heads and tails to kick the night off
- the raffle and if the teams come good there should be some cracking prizes
- starter chips for our fun casino games and the chance to win a top prize on the night (anyone with any experience of fancies running the 'fun' Roulette or BlackJack tables please get in touch asap !)

Donations will be collected at the start of the meal by your table 'captain' for the night !

There's another added incentive too as the hockey section will get a share of the bar take once we hit the club threshold of minimum sales on the the night.

Our final fund-raising activity will be our mini Auction

Top lot this year has been sourced and donated by Vicky Lomas, Ladies 1 co-captain is the Ladies 1's donation and sets the standard high ! Huge thanks to Vicky for sourcing for us !

Lot 1 - Signed GB Men's Hockey shirt. The shirt has pretty much been signed by all the England lads who won Bronze at the Commonwealth Games on Saturday so its bang up to date !

Lot 2 - the return of the the 2014 Commonwealth Games Hockey Ball ! So good we auctioned it twice last years and it raised over £200 ! Kindly donated by Sarah Chancellor last year and donated back to the club by our highest bidder last year ! Lets get this ball rolling again and see what it can raise this year !

Lot 3 - to be announced once we get final donations through from all teams !

If you aren't coming to the Dinner and would like to bid for any of the Auction Lots please email you're maximum bid, lot your wish to bid for, name and contact phone no to timperleyhc@gmail.com by 2.00pm on Friday 20th April - or text to Shelagh on 07810 854197 with your name, item you are bidding for.
