We couldn’t be prouder of these heroes today. To finish 3rd is an excellent achievement & one that should stand them in great stead moving forwards. They carried the badge exceptionally well, & they can hold their heads high after playing some fantastic hockey. #welldone #proud

You'll need a jacket for this one ❄   Watch our brand ambassador Francis Bourgeois find out how our Snow and Ice treatment trains keep the railway running in the winter months.

We finished with 152 signed in, in the end - many of whom made it through all three, while many others did one or two. Well done all! Dave mentioned that next week he plans to re-visit a couple of old IC races under Bill Mason. 10.30 Sunday, 3x20'. Keep the diary clear! 😉
Six weeks ago this same session from Dave Gillard had 28 people sign up. So far there are 130 today! It starts in half an hour. The visualisation chat will focus on what makes a good cox, looking at 2 race situations in Dave's career where coxes made a big difference. Do join!

He’s brightened up an awful lot of lives this year, and now has a tier 4 birthday today, followed by a tier 4 Christmas tomorrow. Let’s see if we can get as many hockey folks as possible wishing @Samuel_Ward13 a happy birthday today. Please retweet!

I’m a keen cricketer, but I’ve never scored a 100. So I’ve set myself a lifetime target of making 100 blood donations instead. I’ve got my eye in at 25 and settling down for a big innings #GiveBlood #Century #NoBoundaries #BeGenerous – at Marlow, South East

We were recently commissioned by @SGSA_UK and @EFL to assess the application of social distancing at professional football grounds. This project provided the chance to stress-test the SGSA's recently published guidance. Follow the link to find out more: lnkd.in/dKhTWp7

Today we've published our SG02: Planning for social distancing at sports grounds. This guidance provides sports grounds with the knowledge and support they need to plan for the safe return of fans with confidence. sgsa.org.uk/planning-for-soc…
We are pleased that @ofqual has taken the decision to use centre assessed grades. The abandonment of the flawed algorithm that caused so much unfairness is the best solution to an entirely preventable mess. #ALevelsResults (1/2)

So lovely to see some of our young leaders inspiring the next generation. Featuring some club legends who leave us this year for university. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to the next generation, Ben, Mia and Helen
Are you looking to get more helpers at your sessions this season? Have you considered approaching your young leaders? 🗣️"They are the cool ones with the tricks, juniors players aspire to be like them, they can connect & they speak the same language" hockeyhub.englandhockey.co.u…

Same stadium, different events, different crowds. How does the crowd egress change? Check out the paper in #FireSafety Journal from the collaboration between @movementstrat and @lunduniversity doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.20…
