You can be related to someone taking part in the World Record Attempt.

NE14HOCKEY 7-a-side Festival
We will be running a 7-a-side Festival alongside the World Record Attempt. We initially intend to run the festival for 24 men's and 24 mixed sides but if enough interest is shown from ladies sides we would be happy to run an event that would cater for 16 men's, 16 mixed and 16 ladies sides.
For more details about the festival format please click here.
Sponsoring Oppourtunities
With this type of event being quite unique and with the amount of time before it takes place there is alot of potential exposure of sponsors willing to support this cause. We intend to promote the event in the local newspapers of those players/umpires taking part as well as the local newspapers and news programmes in Nottingham during the course of 2010 in the build up to August. This will be supported with this dedicated website which will be kept up-to-date with the latest news.
