The NHS Norfolk Health Trainers will offer practical advice on maintaining a healthy heart and keeping fit.
‘Raising awareness of signs and symptoms is so important, Cancer Research UK estimates around 40,800 men are diagnosed with Prostate Cancer every year, we need to know when it’s time to stop ignoring a symptom and go to a doctor’

After being unbeaten all season the U12 Boys went into the national club mini finals at Cannock HC last Saturday as East champions and with a good chance of returning home with a medal to round off their excellent 2011/12. On a bright, dry day in front of their enthusiastic supporters the team got off to the perfect start with an encouraging 4-2 win in Pool B over Leicester before conceding a very early goal to Bath Buccaneers in their next game from which they never really recovered going down by two goals to one. With no semi-final places for the two pool runners-up this was a considerable setback for Magpies and they had a long wait before their next game which was against Guildford. Just after half time Magpies were two goals to the good and heading for victory before Guildford took advantage of two defensive errors to clinch a draw against the run of play. By now Bath had secured top spot in Pool B and a place in the final (in which they beat Avalon, the other West team, 1-0) leaving Magpies needing to beat Thirsk and Bath to beat Guildford for the East champions to make the 3rd/4th place game. Magpies started badly twice going behind to Thirsk before twice equalising. With time running out Magpies were on the defensive but two late goals secured victory and, with Bath beating Guildford, a place in the bronze medal game against Oxford Hawks. A parent could have been speaking for all spectators when he said he was feeling 'seriously stressed'. I know the feeling!
U12 BOYS TEAM - BRONZE MEDALLISTS IN NATIONAL CLUB MINIS
CANNOCK HC - SATURDAY 12 MAY 2012
Back row: Richard Larkin (manager), Stuart Peters (coach)
Middle row: Laura Unsworth (England & GB who presented the medals), William Donsworth, Archie Winter (captain), Kieran Peters, Freddie Dixon (GK), Jolyon Summers
Front row: William Simpson, Cameron Woodcock, David Cadman, Alex Kilbourn, Sam McCluskey
Magpies looked the better side against Oxford Hawks but with no goals in the two nine-minute halves the outcome all depended on strokes. The first six were all converted and it was now down to sudden death and after Magpies went 4-3 up the next Hawks' stroke was disallowed after the technical delegate intervened to say the striker was too far from the ball at the start of the stroke as suspected by the Magpies' team. However, the Hawks' appeal was upheld with a decision to resume the strokes after the end of the next match. At this point Stuart Peters, the Magpies' coach, sportingly offered to share third place which the Hawks' management gratefully accepted to the general approval of everyone involved including the spectators. In the circumstances it was rightly decided to award the third place medals, presented by England's and GB's Laura Unsworth, to the Magpies' boys who did the club proud throughout the finals.
'Well done' to our team, captained by Archie Winter, for their splendid season; all players having played their part over the months. Congratulations and thanks to Stuart Peters for all his hard work with the team throughout the season and 'thank you' to Richard Larkin for his help as team manager during the finals.
The squad was – Freddie Dixon (GK), Kieran Peters, Sam McCluskey, William Donsworth, Jolyon Summers, David Cadman, Alex Kilbourn, Cameron Woodcock, William Simpson, Archie Winter, Stuart Peters (coach), Richard Larkin (manager).

Although the 2011/12 season is still not over – we have the Magpies Tournament (Saturday/Monday 5/7 May) and the U12 Boys playing in the national minis finals at Cannock HC on Saturday 12 May to look forward to - it is time to bring down the curtain on the third season of this column with a brief summary of the past few months, plus a few other items.
For me the highlights of a generally non-vintage season have been, in no particular order, the U16 Girls winning the national indoor club championship, the Ladies' 2nds winning East Div 2NE in fine style, the excellent outdoor season enjoyed by the U16 Girls, the Ladies' 1sts good run after Christmas leading to league safety, the Men's Over 50s reaching the national final with their 3-1 semi-final away win over Bowdon, the fine performance of the U12 Boys in winning the East Minis and the willingness of club members to help out with umpiring in the pool or before or after their own games.
There were also some other encouraging performances on the Ladies' side of the club with the 3rds having a good season despite a mid-term blip, the 4ths escaping relegation with three late wins, the 5ths finishing third in their league with a much changed team from last season, the 6ths finishing strongly to move away from the bottom three places and the Girls Development finishing second in their league behind Norwich City.
The Men's side of the club gave some cause for concern although there were still some bright spots. The 1sts were sadly relegated despite some good performances and the best efforts of the coaches including Bill Williams (who will not be with us next season unfortunately due to other Saturday commitments), the 2nds had a disappointing season rescued to an extent by the late avoidance of relegation, the 3rds kept in the hunt for promotion until the final match despite the nasty and untimely injury sustained by skipper Matt Brand, the 4ths avoided relegation with a good late run (and here special thanks are due to manager Robert Steven who kindly answered the call to run the team and who kept things going despite having to call on some 45 players during the season), the 5ths started well before encountering a rocky patch but still finished in a creditable fifth place, the 6ths finished the season in a good seventh place after including some promising youngsters from the Development squad after Christmas, the 7ths pushed for promotion all season before just missing out after another excellent few months and the Boys Development had another encouraging season. For the overall health of the men's side of the club three things need to happen before next season – any thought of dropping a team to be ditched forthwith, more players to be recruited and more of our existing members to commit to playing more often to give a chance for more settled sides to be selected with consequent less pressure on team managements who, together with all club officers, are to be thanked and congratulated on their hard work over the season.
I take this opportunity as Commercial Manager (Acting) to thank all of the club's sponsors and advertisers for their support once again including, of course, Mark and Annie Legg of Hunton Legg (R.G.) Ltd, Mark and Debbie Kilbourn of Kilbourns.co.uk, Mike Smith and Murray Graham of Lovewell Blake, Brian Pring of Larking Gowen and Nigel and Sue Bedingfield of WaveneyValley Blog.com – the latter for their sponsorship and overseeing of the club's invaluable website. We are indebted to all our sponsors and advertisers.
The Men's O50s were unable to cap their fine season with a win in the final of the EHB Masters Cup last Sunday at Cannock HC but they (and their enthusiastic group of supporters) did the club proud with a battling performance against a talented Richmond side who by the end of the game were clearly rattled by their inability to make the game safe after having only one goal to show for their first half dominance. Magpies tackled as if their lives depended on the outcome and Murray Graham had an excellent game behind the posts with a series of fine saves including a superb 'one-on-one' just after the interval. As ever skipper Phil Cobbald led by example but with Richmond down to nine players for a short time the equaliser would not come despite Magpies forcing several penalty corners in the closing stages. It was a very enjoyable weekend despite the result and I thank the team for my free meal and the glass of wine or two!
Other news in brief
a) I am very sorry to record the death of longstanding club vice-president Mrs Vera Alexander. Vera was a keen supporter of the club kindly hosting and attending club functions for many years. Our condolences go to son Phil and all members of the family on their great loss.
b) It is very best wishes to club vice-president Dick Rout and Val Notley on their marriage this coming Saturday.
c) It is thanks and congratulations to organiser Heidi Wooltorton and everyone who has helped the Smartie Tube Challenge to top the £1000 mark for the invaluable work of the youth committee. If you still have any filled or half filled tubes would you please hand them to Heidi at the Youth Presentation Evening which is now being held on Friday 18 May due to the U12 Boys being away in Cannock on the original date.
d) Cricket lovers will know that it's an honour for one's cricketing prowess to be recorded in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack (perhaps the world's most famous sporting annual) and in the 149th edition, recording the 2011 season, several HMHC members are included, namely Jaik Mickleburgh (Essex CCC), Tim Alexander (Framlingham College), Harry Bamber (Norwich School), Elliot Smith (Culford School) and Ben Wright (Framlingham College). If other members have been similarly honoured in the past (and I know of at least two) I would be pleased to know including which year.
I hope to be back with Musings next season and in the meantime I could well be issuing the occasional Mini Musings to cover important events in brief. I thank club members, parents and supporters for their friendship during the season not forgetting Andrew Joyce and Brian Cole my chief assistant scoreboard operators together with 'adviser' Claude Brand. We have had some fun on the touchline. I hope Andrew and Brian will not need retraining at the start of next season!
With kind regards
Mike Denham

I gave pride of place to the U12 Boys last week and it is between them again this week and the O50 Men's Veterans captained by Phil Cobbald who play in the final of the EHB Masters Cup on Sunday. But I will give it to the U12 Boys for winning the East Minis at Weybread in fine style last Saturday. After drawing 0-0 with Old Loughtonians in their opening pool game they moved into top gear with wins over Cambridge City (4-0), Ipswich (3-0), Hertford (3-1) and Spalding (10-0). They then had a tough semi final against Bury St Edmunds winning 1-0 before a rematch with Old Loughtonians in the final. This time their shots were on target but not before goalkeeper Freddie Dixon was called upon to make a vital save with the game still goalless. However, it was soon 3-0 to Magpies with two further goals coming in the second half. This was another outstanding performance by a talented squad coached by Stuart Peters and they now represent the East – together with Old Loughtonians – in the national finals at Cannock HC on Saturday 12 May. Congratulations to Stuart and the squad. For the record their goals were scored by Archie Winter (9), Jolyon Summers (7), Kieran Peters (5), Cameron Woodcock (2), William Donsworth (2) and William Simpson.
I take this opportunity to thank the many members (endorsed by chief organiser Fiona Wheeler) who helped to make the two days of the East Minis at Weybread so successful including Kirstin Cumming and Philippa Taylor and their catering team, Nick McAllen, the Master of Ceremonies on the microphone, Robert Stimpson and Ewie Cumming behind the bar, Shirley McAllen who helped the East officials with the scores etc during the two exhausting days and everyone who made the car parking surprisingly enjoyable. I was meant to be in charge of the car parking team but my decision to park the cars at right angles to the clubhouse was immediately over-ruled in favour of parallel to the clubhouse and thereafter I was effectively demoted in a car park coup!
But back to Phil and his O50 squad who take on Richmond in the EHB Cup final at Cannock HC on Sunday (11.00). They have reached this stage of the competition with four outstanding wins and one walk over with all the wins being away from home including the fine 3-1 semi-final victory over Bowdon. During this run they have played some fine attacking hockey scoring 24 goals with just 3 against and it is to be hoped they will produce more of the same on Sunday. Good luck to the squad which is Phil Cobbald (captain), Ian Absolon, Jonathan Aldridge, Keith Alexander, David Blackmore, Jerry Blackmore, Clyde Camburn, Peter Dolton, David Fairhead, Peter Finnie, Murray Graham (GK), Jeremy Podd, Bob Skinner, Jim Stather, Jon Wells, Tiger Young, Robert Stimpson (manager).
The inaugural and well attended Senior Teams Awards Evening was held last Friday in the clubhouse and it is 'thank you' to the organisers (Tristan Baynes, Kristina Erith, Philippa Taylor, Jose Tibbenham - and the team captains for their assistance) and everyone who attended and congratulations to the following winners at the end of another outdoor league season.

Congratulations to:
a) Lucy Hayman and Duncan on the birth of Toby (with, of course, our best wishes).
b) The Ladies' 1sts on winning the Women's East Conference Hospitality Award (voted by the visiting teams) due in no small part to the 'meeting and greeting' and catering of Kirstin Cumming. With Kirstin fully occupied with the East Minis the award (which includes a cheque for £150) was kindly accepted on behalf of the club last Sunday at Reading HC by Nigel, Heidi and Kira Wooltorton during the national league pay-offs.
