Saturday 2nd October
Alumni Day Reunite with the doctors who have recently left us, in true hockey club style. We will play a Saturday match before we take on the alumni in a winner takes all match at Harlington Sports ground - full of fun challenges and fines. This is followed by a curry, then off to an afterparty for a great night with our former legends of the club and the rest of ICSM. Tuesday 5th October Freshers Fair Come and find us on Queen's lawn in South Kensington to speak to some members of the club and join our mailing list - keeping you up to date with everything ICSMLHC has to offer! We're normally right next to the Men's Club, look out for our red kit, hockey sticks and amazing signs. We'll give you tons of freebies (did someone say cupcakes?), facepaint and a wristband for our taster session. If you have any questions feel free to ask any of our friendly committee. Wednesday 6th October Freshers fun day & Trials Come along to our pitch in Osterley to get a feel for the club and play some fun mini games in fancy dress! Don't worry if you've never picked up a stick before or if you play for the national team! We cover all abilities and welcome everyone. You will get to meet the captains and committee who will work together and make sure everyone ends up in a team that's right for their level. Afterwards, we will head back to Club Captain Tavi's house for some dinner and time to get to know each other better, so make sure you bring your scrub bottoms to change into before heading off to... Fulham Palace Run Probably the best night ever. Hundreds of medical students take to the streets of Hammersmith in one of the most infamous pub crawls in London, along Fulham Palace Road. From Tavi's we will head to ICSM's Reynolds Bar before we head to the pubs as a club! Ending with an after party in one of London's most famous clubs Heaven, this night is not one to miss. Friday 8th October I'm a Club Cobra and BOP! Get to know our club captain Tavi better and navigate her through a number of challenges to help crown ICSM Ladies' Hockey Club the King Cobra of ICSM! After the show, stay behind at Reynolds as it is transformed into your first and biggest BOP of the year, boogie the night away surrounded by all the best pals in medical school. Tuesday 12th October First training and club meal This will be the first training session of the year with our lovely new coach Imitaz. Travel with the whole gang to Harlington with our FREE TRANSPORT provided! Followed by a very nutritious post-training club meal at Nandos in Hammersmith. Wednesday 13th October First Sports Night Now you're in the swing of things we finally have our first match of the season. Afterwards, we'll meet at Reynolds to celebrate our wins in the true hockey club style! Whether you're a drinker or non-drinker, everyone is welcome as we introduce you to a long lived social tradition of the club - and of course, look out for the email about fancy dress. |
