We're not here to demonstrate our tremendous stick, ball-control or tackling skills. We're not even here because we enjoy sunny weekend-breaks away from home.

No. This year the Barrel Gaps are cutting straight to the chase when it comes to hockey tours. This year we are here to drink the Purple Liquid. And when the Purple runs out, we'll most likely drink other colours too.

NASTY COCKTAILS

If you happen to discover a Purple Nastie whilst on tour, you'll notice they will each be wearing a tag around their necks. The tag not only tells you where they live (because obviously they won't know this in the state they will be in), but also has the details of the ingredients required to make up the strange cocktail name they have printed on their backs.

Should a Nastie fail to observe any of the Official Tour Rules at any time, the offender may have to immediately gather their ingredients together and make up their cocktail, drinking at least one finger's worth of the Nasty concoction.

WARNING! Make sure you thoroughly read the Official Tour Rules, as a 'Bad Call' may result in the immediate reversal of the drinking penalty!

So now you know how to get us under the table, check out the list on the right which will show you where you can find us.

THE SMALLPRINT

Please drink responsibly.

Barrel Gaps tours are open to all Southend Hockey Club members who are 18 years of age or older. Younger members must obtain prior parental consent.
