Freddie Martin, a year five hockey player, is doing a School project on Victorian hockey (the School project is Victorians). As part of his research he contacted The Hockey Museum and attended the open day at the Museum on Thursday 3 October 2013.

Freddie had the added bonus of meeting England Hockey ‘Greats’ Maggie Souyave and Simon Mason. He was delighted to put Simon’s three Olympic Games’ player passes around his neck.

He tried out a Victorian-era hockey stick and was able to take quite a few photos for his project from the Museum Library. He was not shy of asking questions!

We look forward to seeing his completed project and would be delighted to assist any other pupils/students doing hockey projects.

This was another very successful Open Day at the Museum.
