Thanks you to everyone who donated in support of the bus fire incident. the money raised was used to support individuals through the insurance process and make sure our season was hampered.
Our annual club day to Manchester took place on Wednesday 28th September, this involved all 5 teams and 68 players. Whilst returning to Sheffield, smoked filled the bus, an emergency stop was performed and everyone rushed off. Within 5 minutes, the bus was engulfed in flames, an inferno ensued. All members were safely evacuated, but no one had time to take belongings, everything was destroyed. Roughly £40,000 of club and personal hockey equipment, as well as £30,000 of personal belongings were destroyed in the fire.
As a club we are constantly trying to encourage new members to get involved as well as pushing our teams to the highest levels in BUCS. To meet our goals we are always on the hunt for more donations which can help us progress as a club. Working with the Alumni Foundation you can donate directly to the club and as a UK taxpayer an extra 25% will be added to your donation.
