ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE How our activities deliver public benefit Throughout the year the club house is available for use by the local community. The local pigeon clu b continues to use the facllities for meetings and discussions. The clubhouse is also availa ble for hire for social events. There are four local football teams who hire the pitch throughout the year to train as they have no tra ining facilities available to them. This ena bles the players to continue with their fitness a nd skills and train safely under floodlights in the winter months whilst having use of the changing room and shower facilities, The ava ila bility of pitch hire also ena bles the loca I prima ry Schools to participate in hockey- based activities and games. This helped to give the child ren an insight i nto playing hockey on Astro turf and became a basis for the primary & secondary league. Summer league was organised again this year which was open to junior & senior members old & new, parents and anyone who was keen to play. This was a window for potential recruitment of players from the community and enhanced confidence, fitness and health.
VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are an important resource, Coaches who run the Summer league and oversee teams do so vol u nta rily a nd are affiliated to the club. Our coaches provide traini ng sessions and we a Iso have qualified umpires who officiate league games again on a voluntary basis.

The women still run two competitive sides in the league and are looking to enter a third team in the 24125 season as numbers remain steady. A large percentage of the junior tournaments and leagues are held at the club on a Sunday, All junior teams have represented the clu b rea Ily well giving a great account of themselves arou nd the county and beyond. Some of our members go on to play representative hocl<ey ranging from masterfs down to the panthers. Flnancial Revlew The main source of income has been from the rental of the CIOS facilities with additional income from pitch hire to the local football teams and primary hockey.
