You Have To Change To Stay The Same


Hi all,

I's been a while since I have blogged and today I'm here with some news. 
I will be moving on from EH at the end of the month after 8 years (with a stint at the ECB in the middle) and after nearly 4 years as Clubs and Facilities Manager.

I wanted to just write a note to say how much I have enjoyed working with you all over those years. So many clubs have come such a long way mainly due to the dedication of an army of volunteers who go out and make hockey happen every week, and it will be a bit of a challenge to leave that behind.

I'm still playing so hopefully I will see many of you around, and I am very much looking forward to becoming a spectator at events, I can't wait to get my tickets for the Investec World League in July and to be able to sit with a Beer!

I am still working with many of you on a number of projects, all of which will be handed over this month but I am working to bring a resolution to many of the things we are working on before I head off. If any of the clubs I am working with need anything before I go, you know where I am. Please do get in touch via my EH email alex.teasdale@englandhockey.co.uk.

For me, I'm off for a change of ball - and will be headed to Twickenham to join the RFU. Im really looking forward to the next challenge but it has been a really hard decision to move on, mainly because I really enjoy working in the sport I love.

Thanks once again for all of the work you all do, I look forward to seeing how clubs continue to progress in the coming years - with the legacy of the games and the governing body positioned well in terms of plans and investment moving forwards, hockey will be the one to watch.

Alex
