| 15th Oct 08 | 2009 Rules of Hockey |
| It is anticipated that the next Rules of Hockey and Rules of Indoor Hockey will take effect from 1 June 2009. Until new sets of rules are published and implemented, the 2007-2008 rules continue to apply. What changes there will be in 2009 is still under discussion within the FIH. The Hockey Rules Board has already undertaken a significant review of the Rules of Indoor Hockey. At its meeting in November 2008, it will finalise any proposals for changes to the rules for outdoor hockey. Roger Webb Secretary, Hockey Rules Board FIH Press Release 15th October 2008 | |

| 6th Oct 08 | TRAVELLING TO SWANSEA?? |
| Any club travelling to Swansea should allow an additional 20 minutes minimum as (due to traffic volume alone - no roadworks) it takes that long to travel the last 3 miles to King George Playing Fields. I gather it is now normal for it to take that long! Regards Chris Brewer South Wales Umpires | |
