On Your Marks, Get Set, Go-oldie!

The 15th Air New Zealand Golden Oldies World Hockey Festival has began in Edinburgh, with Gullivers Sports Travel once again handling the ground operations for the event.

55 teams, made up of 800 players, have come together from 14 countries to take part in the  over 35s Hockey Festival, which celebrates the Golden Oldies spirit of ‘Fun, Friendship and Fraternity’.

This is Gullivers 13th time acting as ground operator for Air New Zealand’s hockey, rugby and cricket Golden Oldies Festivals, organising accommodation, transportation and social functions for the veteran players.

The Festival started on Sunday 17 July, with an Opening Ceremony and Welcome Party at Inverleith Park and concludes on Saturday 23 July with the Grand Finale Dinner and Awards at the Corn Exchange, both organised by Gullivers.
