Shirts, Numbers And Beer!

After 6 years of our current shirts and associated "Spire Roding" branding, the club has secured a new sponsor commencing the 2016-2017 season. This means it's time for us to refresh our shirts with a new design and a new supplier.

To prevent arguments about who gets what number we will once again be holding an auction of numbers, this time round at Marathon on 15 October 2016.

How it works:
1. Numbers 2-99 and 0 are available
2. There are separate lists for both male and female players.
3. All numbers are available from the cost price of £25, should more than one individual want a number then an auction will be held with bids going up at £1 intervals. Highest Bid wins.
4. Pay for your winning bid on the night, cash, cheque or all major cards.

As well as the auction it's a good chance for everyone in the club to have a drink together and socialise.

If you can't make the evening then you can register your interest in a number, please just e-mail your bidding instructions to Phil on RIHC.Treasurer@outlook.com phone bids will also be available on the night but we need to know in advance.

A representative from Kuka hockey will be coming along on the evening to answer any questions you have.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I have to buy a shirt?
Yes you do, it's important that the club is presented well externally and that means players in matching kit. We also can't expect companies to give the club money that goes into subsidising our hockey if we aren't prepared to include their logo on our kit, this also includes not displaying alternative sponsorship logos on old shirts.

2. What size do I need?
There will be example shirts available on the night to try on, if you can't make it we will try and have the shirts available at training and on saturday 22nd.

3. I don't care what number I play in what do I do?
After the auction is over we will post a list of available numbers on the website and you can choose whatever you want and pay the base price.

4. When will the shirts be available?
As long as we get the order in by 23 October we should have the shirts to start the second half of the season in January.

5. I only bought a new shirt last year, do I still need to buy a new shirt?
Unfortunately yes you do, for new club members that joined in 2015-16 season that bought a shirt there will be a discount of £10 applied.

6. Can we have names on the back?
We aren't having names, however we will having your initials put on a sleeve for shirts that are bought before the order goes in.

7. Will other kit be available?
Skorts and shorts can be added to the order at an extra cost of £22. Additional branded kit will be available in the future from our supplier but we are sorting the shirts first.
