Just a reminder that the Big Dribble, a GB Hockey roadshow, is coming to Oxford tomorrow (Tuesday 1st May) – come along if you can to the astroturf at Brookes University from 9.30 to 11am.

You’ll have the chance to take part in the record-breaking attempt to dribble 2012km, by dribbling a hockey ball around the 100 metre course. There will also be a giant hockey ball you can sign to wish the GB teams good luck ahead of the Olympics, plus lots of fun, free roadshow activities.

Everyone is welcome – please just come along, or visit www.thebigdribble.com to find out more.

Both teams will be trying to go one better next season! Read more…
