www.englandhockey.co.uk
During the coming months I will be delivering Club Forums across the region on the theme of “Your World Cup”. 
In July and August 2018 we have the chance to maximise the effect of the exposure that the Vitality Hockey Women’s World Cup will bring at both a national and local level, with 180 hours of hockey on TV over the year.
We hope that this increased visibility will work for clubs in the same way London and Rio did and consequently we would like to support clubs to take advantage of this and increase their membership.
We know every club is different and clubs want to develop in different ways so we have created a suite of tools to help offering various options for clubs!
These forums will give yours and neighbouring clubs the opportunity to talk though the opportunities and benefits that your club could have from being part of Your World Cup campaign including free hockey resources, promotional tools to a once in a life time experiences at the Vitality Hockey Women's World Cup.


The evening is likely to cover the following ways to benefit from Women’s World Cup:-
•           Increase Capacity at sessions to cater for extra demand
•           Supporting Schools to deliver hockey in Primary or Secondary education
•           Driving interest in different ways to play the game (Back to Hockey, Small Sided Games, Pay and Play sessions etc)
•           Engage with local media and increase reach of community events

The key dates in the Yorkshire region are (Clubs and others signed up so far in brackets):

The world cup will be a fantastic opportunity and to help make the most of this opportunity we are launching the ‘Your World Cup’ campaign; this campaign aims to inspire clubs to seize the opportunity of hosting the next big event after the Olympics, a World Cup on English soil. 
I am really keen to meet as many clubs as possible across the region to discuss and share ideas on how we can make the most of this fantastic opportunity at your club.
