Alix Ingram and Kirsty Ansell both took part in the girls East training. Kirsty has since been picked for the County Under 14 squad. Alix who played
for the County last year is moving out of the County this year, and so will not represent the County in the following season. The club wishes Alix good luck
in her future in Norfolk.
Tom Waterhouse
Tom Waterhouse was presented with a commemorative photo at the County AGM on July 8th 2004.
Tom decided the time was right to step down from committee duties having successfully helped the new association manage its way through the first few years of its existence.
Tom has been an ever present member of Sussex committees since the mid 70's. He was a founder member of the former Sussex Mixed HA and a former secretary of the Mens Sussex County HA.
Tom also served on English Hockey Sub Committees and is a Vice President and ex playing member of Hailsham Hockey Club.
His work will be missed by the association, but his wisdom will still be available as Tom is a Life VP.
