Thank you to everyone who assisted and participated both on and off the field for our first ever Girls Day Out at Waverley. A sunny day saw the crowds come out – which was great for supporters and players which added to the already festive atmosphere. Nice to see so much pink around the ground for a change, even the boys helping out were wearing pink for the day! More information and photos to come later in the week. Girls rule!!

The first game is tomorrow night and the numbers for the Women’s Masters B are dire. We have a number of people who have offered to fill in this week – so we just have a team – but in order to continue on you must confirm your commitment.We know you want to play hockey – but you need to commit to the season. It’s really important because without numbers the future is …. well it’s up to you. You need to rally the troops!!

We’re playing at 9pm @ Greensborough, wear white tops and pale blue socks – get there by 8-30pm. If you want to play but can’t this week – contact Anne-Marie Smith – further details can be found on the New Players page. If you have friends that are interested – and you can start playing hockey now, there are no boundaries – please contact Anne-Marie.

Recently a notice board has been placed in the  home change room – please use it to publicise events at the club by placing flyers on it etc.

Also – if you have a small business – feel free to place your brochure or business card there – we all are sometimes looking for a service such as an electrician, vet, landscape gardener etc. and if we can support our fellow team members in either recommending or using their business the better off we are as a club.

Call it the “old Panthers network”! (OPN for short)

Due to the construction of the new student accommodation at Monash University, what was previously designated as parking for the hockey field, tennis courts and soccer ground has now been converted to permanent residential parking. A ticket inspectors has informed one of our players that this is a 24/7 restriction so people who park in this area will be fined.

All sport club members/users will now no longer have access to this car park and will need to use the C11 Gravel Car Park (next to Rugby Pitch, opposite Swimming Pool), or the Multi Storey Car Park (near gym and main oval). The gravel car park boom gate will be raised from 4pm weekdays to allow access, and further will be raised all day across weekends.

HV have been advised that the small carpark adjacent to the hockey pitch at PHC (Monash Uni – Frankston campus) has been temporarily closed.
