Bournemouth Hockey Club

It’s been a great week for international hockey news this week, with not one, not two, but THREE Bournemouth hockey members being selected to represent England.

Ladies, ever fancied being a firefighter?

16 Oct 2017

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is encouraging women and other under-represented parts of the community to ‘have a go’ at being a firefighter, ahead of a wholetime recruitment campaign next month. They have asked if we can share this information with our members… The role of a firefighter has changed a lot in recent years, with even more emphasis on fire prevention and community education. While our firefighters are still called upon to put out fires when they occur, they also respond to flooding and water rescue incidents, road traffic collisions, animal rescues and alarm calls – amongst...

I commend anyone for taking part in this fabulous event which has been running along our beautiful coastline for the last 4 years, and I expect there are quite a few BHC members also taking part, but what is particularly commendable for these ladies is that on the most part they really aren’t runners, well not long distance ones anyway! Ok, so Pip Woods is somewhat of...
