One hundred years of Lloyds Bank Hockey Club

The contents of this book will never provide a full history of the Club but hopefully will give a flavour of the enterprise, variety and old fashioned good times had by all participating over the generations. All of us who enjoyed our times in the Hockey Club have a number of dedicated individuals to thank for these memories. Whether these be on the field of play, in the bar post-match, attending committees or just getting stuck into general backroom administration they will not be forgotten. One or two of the larger than life characters are noted in the text. Officials are listed in the Appendices. As the potted history of the Club produced for the 50th Anniversary commented 'A true souvenir should recall the spirit of the Club', thus there is no catalogue of names in the book apart from a few appropriate listings in its appendices. This is probably a book to pick up and dip into occasionally, rather than read from cover to cover all at once. Hopefully the reader will always find something of interest to jog their memory of many happy past times. Finally, no doubt we will all agree with the sentiment expressed by Ray Gibney, Club Captain 1967-72, "The camaraderie I witnessed at the Club throughout my membership was second to none, and I never ceased to admire those at all playing levels who were willing volunteers to support the Club administratively."
