We were delighted that the former FIH President and current Chair of the FIH Foundation, Leandro Negre, took time out from his busy schedule to join us at the December THM Board meeting. It was an opportunity for Leandro to hear first-hand the current activity supporting the development of our new premises at 13 High Street and our exciting long-term plans to move to our own purpose-built Museum accommodation.

THM continues to look for ways to develop the partnership it has with the FIH Foundation and the meeting discussed how we can work together to promote the international hockey heritage agenda. We also had some very positive discussions around the setting up of an International Hockey Heritage Network over the coming year that will support the wider initiative to celebrate the FIH Centenary in 2024.
