The EastcoNet 3 14th April 2018 ALL OUR YESTERYEARS Edited by Des Francis Once Eastcote got the taste of Continental Hockey festivals, a hockey tour abroad at Season’s end became standard practice. It was the youngish veterans of the day that led the way. Mel Carter was the driving force behind these ventures. Working at British Airways he made full use of the many contacts he made there. One of our first ports of call was a town which was quite close to Antwerp in Belgium called MECHELEN! Among the many “Great and Good” residents of Mechelen over the centuries were John Heywood an English poet, Charles V the Holy Roman Emperor, the grandfather of Ludwig Van Beethoven, and Anne Boleyn who was beheaded by Henry V111. At first Eastcote only entered a Veterans team. But when the youngsters discovered what great fun the Old Boys were having in Mechelen they demanded to be included and eventually we entered a Ladies, Mens and Veterans teams. We drove to Dover in small groups of 4 or 5, took the Ferry to any one of the continental ports where we stocked up on mainly liquid refreshments before driving to Mechelen. In Mechelen the entertainment never stopped throughout our stay there for 3/4 days from morning to morning. The hockey was played in a beautiful park that featured picturesque scenes surrounding two to three grass hockey pitches. There was a shallow river running through the park in which many an Eastcote player took a dip either voluntarily or involuntarily – mostly involuntarily. There are many stories to tell of the many trips we made to Mechelen in the late Sixties, the Seventies and early Eighties.
