NHC - Diamonds are Forever

NHC 60th Diamond Celebration Night

What a fabulous night it was for Newquay Hockey Club’s 60th Diamond Jubilee, with over 90 past and present members with an age range from 17 to 80+, all coming together to celebrate.

Thanks to our fabulous hosts, the  Sandy Lodge, for a lovely meal. Legends of the past, Patrick Collings, Mavis Wharman, Sally Miners for  words and speeches. Newquay Lions Club for dealing the Casino, Surefire the band for the sounds, and Newquay’s Major and Mayoress for joining us to celebrate this milestone in NHC’s long history.

All proceeds from the night will be going towards the ‘Pitch for Newquay Fund’, and there is no doubt that this event highlighted our long history.

But also, how much we have bounced back from the dark days of having lost our home pitch.

Fielding three ladies’ league sides,  the growth of the junior section, and the resurgence of a men’s side was certainly a talking point on the night. 

There is much work still to do, but with continued hard work and commitment on and off the pitch. We will surely prove the need for a pitch for Newquay.

Thank you one and all! who came together to celebrate, to the events organising team, Lou, Lora, Janz, Sarah and Dreya, here’s to the next one!

Lots of hockey success.

Best wishes

Lou 

(President NHC )
