Actually, it was almost four weeks ago.
About three months notice would be much better IMO though so that out of town teams are able to fit it around their own schedules/sort everything in advance.
Ok right….. Fair enough, I only checked two weeks ago then as ive been working out of town….. but the fact of the matter is that not everyone will religously check the website like some do…..
How hard would it be to send an email to all players advising them of easton cup coming up, I certainly never got one despite being on the club email list, or i even if that was to hard or whatever how about, send it to all secretarys in SIHL region and get them to send it to their members, not hard at all or it doesnt even have to be that, just a few key people in each club….
remember poor communication kills the troop
its a poor marketer who cant sell the same title five or six timesIts a nice story that kyle and larry are both busy, and good of them to organise the competition while theyve got other major committments on to! But maybe it is a case of to many indians and not enough cheifs or helpers at least! If you guys wanted more help to advertise or whatever sing out! I for one would have helped

But yeah, there is very rarely any requests for help. The thing is though, when people do ask for help, pretty much no one bothers to help. 99% of the volunteer work is done by the ones who approach the organisers directly asking to pitch in. The ones that wait to be asked seem to have good intentions, but rarely actually help. I suspect you will find that’s why there aren’t many requests for assistance these days, it simply doesn’t seem to matter, or at least that’s my experience of it.
I always ask for help anyway as I figure it gives me justification for whining about getting stuck doing everything myself

[/quote:a8nv74fx]Well the club email list is the list of members, the reason you didn’t get the email is because you haven’t signed up for membership.
The information was sent to all clubs in the country. That’s the reason that Albury and Canterbury teams are coming.

[/quote]Hmmm it just seems strange that I recieve some but not all then….
Also seems strange not to many people know much about it,
Trying to find out when and where hockeys on, especially things like open grade is a mission sometime……. one needs skills like those shown off the TV programme sensing murder to guess where the games are next……
Club activities are all listed in the calendar on the front page of the web site. And in the membership booklet, which is also on the web site.
The SIHL schedule, including open grade is also on the front page of the web site. Also here: http://dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi/southern-schedule-2010/.

The Clubhub ones would only reach registered members presumably – which I think is a flaw as many non-current members may also appreciate the emails too and it could encourage them to re-register.
Either way, if you are motivated enough it’s pretty easy to find out what’s going on these days. Most of the critically important stuff is posted on the website.
The Easton Cup could do with someone behind it driving it forwards. I put forward a proposal to the DIHA a few years ago, it was agreed that it was a good idea, but I’m guessing it gone thrown in the trash as none of it was ever implemented. It didn’t help that it was just a proposal and I wasn’t volunteering to run the event though.
It’s quite a unique thing on the national hockey calendar and with a bit of creative marketing I could easily see it becoming a major attraction for teams across the country and from other countries to enter. The Erewhon cup is too consumed with political turmoil and bureaucracy to grow to it’s full potential but the Easton Cup doesn’t have such issues holding it back, just the lack of anyone affording the time to drive it forwards.
I’ll probably be in Dunedin for the weekend but not available for all the games. I’m heading home around 11am on sunday. I can fill in if you need it though.
Added a poll. Go vote

I may have a couple of scores slightly wrong, but these are the rough results from the games played so far today.
Dunedin Women 2 : Christchurch Rangers 3
Dunedin Penguins 15 : Dunedin SK8 0
Christchurch Jagr Bombs 5 : McKenzie Bull Tahrs 3
Dunedin Penguins 16 : Christchurch Rangers 0
McKenzie Bull Tahrs 4 : Dunedin SK8 0Sk8 vs Rangers this evening should be a close game.
