Please note all on-pitch hockey activity will self-led and not supervised in any way. Members using facilities will be doing so entirely at their own risk.
We are very pleased to be able to get some hockey activity happening back at the Club, but our priority is naturally the safety of our members and their families, volunteers and club staff.
Thank you for your co-operation in adhering fully to the guidelines for use of facilities and for giving the utmost consideration to the health of yourselves and others.
