review<br />
I start by saying that we<br />
must never forget the<br />
countless hours of work<br />
put into the business,<br />
which is <strong>AK</strong> <strong>Hockey</strong>,<br />
by the volunteers.<br />
We are not a well-off sport;<br />
our playing surfaces cost a lot<br />
of money and we, the hockey<br />
community, have to carry that<br />
burden but, on top of that, a huge<br />
number of you give freely and<br />
willingly of your time and expertise.<br />
Some of you make extraordinary<br />
efforts; you will appreciate that I<br />
cannot name one or a few because<br />
I would risk offending dozens of<br />
others but you are all good people.<br />
In mentioning the volunteers, I do<br />
want to give credit to David Curtis<br />
and his team. For those who turn<br />
up to play, have a refreshment<br />
afterwards and go home, I suppose<br />
it is not something which is entirely<br />
visible but, year in-year out, they<br />
battle away on our behalf to make<br />
things easier for us.<br />
