Stars
Uniting Oxfordshire in Sport
Posted October 31st, 2009 by KateMany of the sports fans in the county take a lively interest in many different sports, whether this be Footbal, Rugby, Speedway and of course Ice Hockey to name but a few. We are hoping to set up links that are beneficial for all concerned, the teams, the clubs and of course the supporters. This could include discounted admission to certain games and we hope the sharing of best practices from within the clubs.
So if you are a member of a sports club or team in Oxfordshire, whether as a player or supporter why not get in contact giving some details and have a chat. We see this venture as a way of linking groups of individuals who have an interest in sport. We hope the links will help both sides as we belive we have a lot to offer and give.

Contacts
Posted September 30th, 2009 by KateSupporters Club Contacts - The Supporters Club can be contacted on Stars home matchdays at the Supporters Club table. At away matched you are quite likely to find at least one of them there. Alternatively e-mail them through supportersclub@oxfordstars.com
Chairman:Ian Dibley - Ian first started watching Ice Hockey in 1985. He soon became involved in the Supporters Club and served as Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer up until the early 1990s (Not all at the same time!). A regular contributor to the matchday programme. Ian is married to Lynne and works in Customer Service. You can`t miss Ian unless you take a diversion! |
|
Treasurer:Maria Hobday - Maria has been following the Stars for about 6yrs and has just recently joined the Supporters Club, but has been a treasurer and chairperson in the past and also helps out at Ducklington Sports Club. Maria is married to Andy and has 3 children, Curtis, Jake and Josie(who is Deano's No.1 fan) and has been a freelance hairdresser for 24yrs! |
|
Secretary:Mark Timbrell - Mark is also the Great Britain Supporters Club representative and has been involved with the Stars for many years including a spell behind the bench as kit manager and bench assistant.Mark is an Executive Car Driver by trade. |
|
Committee Member:Margaret Jones - Margaret started watching the Stars on their relaunch in 2003 because her daughter was keen to encourage as many people to come and watch as possible and dragged her along! She enjoyed her first match, returned to see the next home game and has been watching ever since. Margaret works for Oxford University in a laboratory supported by the Leukaemia Research Fund. |
|
Committee Member:Chris Farmer - A dodgey Essex boy by birth,Chris finally saw his first game at Lee Valley during 1985,and was instantly hooked. Having lived all over the U.K and watched hockey at numerous locations, before finally settling in Oxfordshire in 2004, Chris specialises in a love of "quirky" raffle prizes, introducing new ranges of merchandise and road testing bags of crisps with Ian and Mark a match night. A Train Driver by trade, this hopefully explains his rotund frame, as most of his day is spent sat on his backside. |
Away Travel
Posted September 30th, 2009 by KateFed up with fuel costs or car park charges?
The main drive of this idea is to get supporters sharing their transport costs, both to home and away games. The advantages of this are to reduce travel costs, improve the environmental effect of travel and to get more people going to games!
Do you have a spare seat in your car when you travel to a game? Would you be prepared to give someone a lift? Have you been put off travelling to an away game because you would have been travelling on your own?
By registering with the Supporters Club, we hope that you will be able to travel to watch the Stars, make some new friends and save yourself some money!
By registering you are not committing to attending any specific game. The Supporters Club will try and link you together.
With the cost of parking why not take advantage of the scheme for home matches as well as away games?
We are also looking at other travel ideas this season, including the possibility of an overnight stop on the Isle of Wight. Please contact us if you are interested.
