In January and February we are running Club Forums in counties on the theme of “Your World Cup” . In July and August next year we have the chance to maximise the effect of the exposure that the Vitality Hockey Women’s World Cup will bring at both a national and local level, with 180 hours of hockey on TV over the year. We hope that this increased visibility will work for clubs in the same way London and Rio did and consequently we would like to support clubs to take advantage of this and increase their membership.

We know every club is different and want to develop in different ways so we have created a suite of tools to help you, a pick 'n' mix hockey tools you may say! So can you join us at one of the dates below along with neighbouring clubs to talk though the opportunities and benefits that your club could have from being part of Your World Cup campaign including free hockey resources, promotional tools to once in a life time experiences at the Vitality Hockey Women's World Cup.

The evening is likely to cover the following ways to benefit from Women’s World Cup:-

• Increase Capacity at sessions to cater for extra demand
• Supporting Schools to deliver hockey in Primary or Secondary education
• Driving interest in different ways to play the game (Back to Hockey or pay per play sessions etc)
• Engage with local media and increase reach of community events
