Hi Everyone 

Welcome back!

As you are all no doubt aware, hockey activities are severely restricted due to the current COVID-19 restrictions. Therefore, all activities of the Hockey Club are postponed, and we are closed to all members until further notice. 

 

The committee will meet periodically and make plans regarding the return to training (both juniors as well as adults) and will contact you when we can resume activities. Please do not contact us to ask when this will be, we shall contact you via the normal channels once the  decisions have been made.

 

Thank you all for your understanding and patience and in the meantime keep safe!

 

Best Wishes 

 

Martyn
