North Otago Hockey - Skill 'n Chill is designed for all players, whether they have played before or not. It is giving the chance for some pre-season training on the turf. This is a self-driven session but we will have Jono Carter at the turf to advise if wanted. Players need to bring along their own gear and mouth guards are compulsory. If there are any questions, please get in touch with me. Aimee Russell, Administrator, North Otago Hockey, PO Box 270, 9400, Oamaru, 0277821975www.northotagohockey.co.nz
In terms of waste in Waitaki, we’ve got to do better, and we’ve got to think of our future. “We do not inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children.” Hence a new vision for our community is on its way. Have your say! (see poster attached)
