Dear Team Organiser,

You and your team members are invited to attend the Breanfields Hockey Festival from 14th to 17th April 2017 in Weston Super Mare.

This year we celebrate the 82nd year of the Festival and our second as Breanfields (Previously Brean Hockey Festival). Our first year as Breanfields was a massive success with 19 teams attending so we have increased our capacity this year and are reinvesting in the festival to make it bigger and better!

There will be the following 7-a-side competition available to all teams:

·  Men’s

·  Ladies

·  Mixed

The festival site is on grass pitches based next to Weston Super Mare Rugby Club on Drove Road BS23 3PA. This is only a 10 minute walk from the town centre and 2 minutes from the train station. During each day, we have on site facilities:

·  A large marquee at the pitch site, music and a bar that’s only £2.50 a pint!

·  A food van will be available for your much needed breakfast, lunch or caffeine top ups.

·  Toilets and showering facilities.

·  On site camping facilities

Entry Details:

The cost this year is £40 per person which includes the below. We know it’s a lot of work to get a team together so organisers come for free!!

·  Entrance to all evening functions (A wrist band system will be in operation and refusal to functions will be in force without such ID).
