One thing that we pride ourselves on at UWE Hockey are our Wednesday night socials. These socials are an opportunity for us as a club to relax, celebrate wins and to interact with all the different teams. Some of our most iconic are fresher Karaoke, with the Women's 1s as the reigning champs, Halloween, Cross-Dress and the End of Season Dinner.
UWEHC takes part in many charity events, where we raise money for causes close to our hearts and socialise with all other sport societies are UWE. These include the annual Netball and Volleyball tournaments and the Movember fundraising month.
We also arrange different club days throughout the season, consisting of mixed and friendly matches. This is a great opportunity to meet club members on different teams, playing alongside people you wouldn't normally get the chance to.
As a club we have a zero tolerance policy regarding poor behaviour, such as harrassment, bullying, peer pressure etc. We want this club to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, and behaviour that puts this at risk will face severe and swift repurcussions. Our club prides itself on our ability to maintain a healthy balance between competitive hockey and socials that include everyone.
