Meal and Drinks
Its about time we had another social!!!
We came up with a few suggestions and we have decided on a meal /night out on Saturday April 10th (and yes I know this is the day before our last game in the league but it was the only day most people could do in April).
The plan will be to meet around 7pm for a meal in Zizzi (Milton Theatre District) and then anyone who would like to go out afterwards for a night out in Llyods, Oceana etc in Central Milton Keynes.
If you cant make it dont worry we plan to organise a social night every month or two, so keep an eye on your emails.
Please let me know at tracey@korfballinmk.co.uk either way if you would be interested in attending so I can gather numbers and go ahead and book the restaurant.
Quiz Night
As you may have seen on the Walton Rogues website there is a Quiz night being held at Tattenhoe Pavilion raising funds for the club I think it would be good if we could get together a Walton Rogues team or 2 - family and friends are welcome -bring everyone you know - cost £3 - let me know at tracey@korfballinmk.co.uk if you can make it.
Rogue Trip
This weekend, Rogues go all the way to Luton, to play Luton Hatters and MK City. That's 14.9 miles as the Rogue Hog flies. If we can upset either of these experienced sides, we will be very happy Rogues!
Either way, we'll be training at Walton High on Tuesday from 8:15-9:30pm as usual. If you fancy giving korfball a try, come along and see what it's like- the first two sessions are free, after all!
MKC Socials
Korfball is Milton Keynes most sociable sport. Playing korfball is great - but we also go out every month - sometimes twice a month and sometimes more.
We have the following social events coming up:
26th February from 7.00pm - Race Night at Newton Longueville Hall - cost £5
12th March from 7.00pm - Quiz at Tattenhoe Pavilion raising funds for the club - bring everyone you know - cost £3
April - KorfBALL - tuxedos and party dresses. 400+ korfers in Kent for the shindig of the year.
May - end of season awards, dance, drink and retell the one and only goal you scored all season
August - Korfball Camp - deep in the New Forest under canvass with korfers!!! A bit of coaching each morning and then beach, bbq and party all afternoon and evening. Cost around £15 per day and we will probably go Wednesday to Saturday.
Speak to Claire Lewis (10G) or Emma 'Casper' Cash if you need to know more about anything social - they are the party queens.
MKX: the Future
Thanks to a sizeable grant of the National Hockey Foundation and the support of the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, youth korfball in MK is set to take huge steps forward.
Starting in April 2010 we will be delivering a 3 year programme through MKX to train teachers and voulnteers in schools to be able to deliver korfball in the curriculum and at after school clubs.
We are currently working on a new Vision for youth korfball in MK and a Blueprint (what youth korfball will look like in 3 years) and we will then outline the steps to get us there. We will publish these shortly but initial thoughts will see korfball on the curriculum of most secondary and primary schools, that this will support and enthuse young people to join a number of after and out of school clubs, that coaching standards will rise considerably and our teams compete in a local youth league and perform well at national level.
Korfball is a great sport. It will only go forward if we invest in young people, give them opportunities to compete and most importantly to have fun in a safe and developmental environment. This is what we will be doing with MKX.
If you want to be part of MKX as a player, a parent-helper, a coach or a volunteer - please do get in touch.
Best wishes DARREN Chair of MK City Director of MKX
