Club Day/Past v Present

On Saturday the 15th September the whole club will be kicking the Centenary season off with a Club Day at Ditton Field. The day will involve a number of games against the school and guest opposition, some junior and mixed hockey followed by refreshments in the pavilion and a BBQ at the end of the day. All club members are most welcome whether you had the benefit of going to KGS or not! There will be a lot of people there for a great social occasion, so even if you are not playing come down to the pitches to show your support, and enjoy a drink or picnic. Exact times of games will be posted once confirmed.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are £150 for full time members if paid before 31/12/07 and £180 thereafter (students/ unemployed £75). Payment can be made by cash, cheque, direct bank transfer or by 5 monthly standing order installments of £30. For those who wish to pay by standing order form or need the club bank account details for a direct bank transfer please contact graham.allen3@virgin.net.

As in previous season we will be offering a discount for members who help to recruit new members. For each new recruit you bring to the club there is a discount of £30 - hence if you can recruit 5 players your subscriptions will be free. Please pay your full subscriptions as normal and advise the treasurer (graham.allen3@virgin.net) of the names of the players you have recruited. Any discounts will be refunded by the treasurer upon receipt of a subscription for the new recruit (note - the discount still applies for goalkeeper recruits even though they are exempt from subscriptions).
