News / Brighton & Hove Hockey Club

 It is with regret that I have to inform you all that Jo Walters passed away on Tuesday 13th July. She was involved in an accident whilst riding her bike in Brighton. Those of you who knew her will remember her as a great player for the L4’s and she will be sorely missed. There is to be a gathering at the Quadrant in Brighton in the upstairs function room, tomorrow (Saturday 17th July) from 6pm. Our thoughts are with her family and her boyfriend, Dan, at this difficult time.

Volunteers are need to help in all aspects of running the club. As always there are a variety of jobs to do and these can range from a couple of hours that can be done from the comfort of your sofa, to helping juniors coaching on either Tuesdays or Sundays.

Please let either Thompo or Julia Shorrocks or another member of the committee know if you'd like to help. As you can understand a club with over 15 teams doesn't run itself ! Don't worry there will be people to help and support you and if you're new to the club it's a great way of meeting other people in the club.

Please be aware of the new self-pass rule. The following links give further explanation.
