Hi All,
I hope you won't mind this post - not quite cricket but the GB Hockey nPower big Dribble comes to Edinburgh on Sunday morning - partly overseen by ex-Muffer and my elder son Lawrence.
Got a free half hour? - why not pop along to Festival Square - same principle - keep your eye on a moving ball! I hope to warm up for the Peebles Sixes finals by going along!
Basically, the premise is all contained below but it's about taking hockey and the Olympics out around the country to give people the chance to play their part and get involved.
Until Cricket is in the Olympics why not have a go!
Edinburgh (Festival Sq, by the Sheraton, 9:30-11:30am on Sunday 15th),
The npower Big Dribble is an amazing opportunity for the Great British public to get into the Olympic spirit as hockey comes to a town near you! We want you to join us at one of 40 locations around the country as people of all ages and abilities take the chance to pick up a stick and take part.
Join celebrities, Great Britain hockey stars, local communities and thousands of others in an attempt to set a record for dribbling hockey balls 2012km across Great Britain.
It’s so easy to get involved:
· Just turn up, pick up a stick and dribble the fun 100 metre course
· Wish Great Britain’s hockey teams ‘good luck’ ahead of the Olympic Games by writing a message on our giant hockey ball
· Come along, meet us and speak to local hockey club members
Don't worry if you've never picked up a hockey stick before, it's all part of the fun. Our team of dedicated Hockey Makers will be on hand to help. Your 100m dribble will be added to our nationwide totaliser and, when we reach 2012km, we've set the record! You'll receive a certificate for taking part and your photo will appear in The npower Big Dribble gallery for you to share with friends and family.
If you have previously played hockey, why not bring a non-playing friend along?
The npower Big Dribble supports WellChild, the UK’s national charity for sick children and is part of Great Britain Hockey’s Hockey Nation programme. Text BIGD123 to 70070 (£3 is then donated to WellChild).
