The 59th International Hockey Festival will be held in Worthing, England, from Friday, 10th to Monday, 13th April 1998. The event is appropriately named a festival as it is not organised on a tournament basis - all teams have an equal opportunity to play a full complement of matches, each of an hour's duration. The festival is open to mens, ladies and veteran teams, and features a lively social scene. Once again, we are running in parallel a Beer Festival which will only be open to players and spectators. We shall ensure that a good selection of both real ales and draught lagers is available, in addition to an extensive bottled stock.

We would be pleased to hear from any teams interested in attending either from the UK or abroad. We have a printed brochure available which should help you persuade your fellow players that this is a festival which your team should be attending. Don't leave it too late as we must apply a limit of 40 teams - E-mail us today.

The Registration cost for the Tournament will be £85 for one team and £60 for each additional team from the same club. A deposit of £25 is required when you initially make your booking, with the balance being payable by the end of January. A word of thanks to our sponsors A&E Internet who have assembled and published these pages for us.
