Like many other hockey clubs nationwide, this year we are being hit with a number of cost increases impacting different areas of our activities. Our initial aim for the new season is to break even, and ideally to try to start building a surplus to fund investment in some new goals, and in order to achieve this, regrettably we need to increase our prices.

As a club, we remain committed to support anyone who may need some financial help so they can continue to play hockey. If you want to know more, please contact me (treasurer.ctvhc@gmail.com) or another member of the Committee in confidence.

From a couple of generous donations, we are able to offer Free Membership to new and re-joining members in their first season with the club. So if you have any friends who have thought about playing, or if you know of any former players who might be enticed back on the pitch, make sure you tell them about this offer, and get them to join!

And don't forget EasyFundraising - a simple way to raise funds for the club when you buy things online.

Thanks, and good luck for the new season!
