We are a non-profit making club formed to play hockey. Therefore the destination of your subscriptions/match fees is very well defined. Each year the club pays money to the following in order that the club and each individual can play hockey in the South Wales League.

Affiliation County (Glamorgan) per club
Region (South Wales) per club
Welsh Hockey union per team and per player (without which members are not entitled to play hockey)
Social membership to WRC per player

Pitches vary in cost but are approximately £45 per hour. Match fees barely cover this alone, never mind the travel and umpire costs.

  • Training fees
  • Petrol expenses to those who drive to away games
  • Cost of teas at Powerleague for away teams
  • Affiliation of umpires to the WHUA
  • Payment of nominated umpires to Premier 1
  • Protective kit for goalkeepers
  • Training courses for coaches and umpires
  • Practice and match balls, bibs, cones etc for training

The club does not seek to make a profit from its members; we merely wish to procure sufficient funds to meet all annual expenses and to provide adequate facilities for our members to get the most from their hockey.

Club accounts are published each year at the AGM and prior to this they are independently audited by a qualified accountant.
