Bridgend Hockey Membership Information

It was very pleasing to end last year’s ‘financial’ season with a small profit, but it was only small and would only take a small change in the Club’s fortunes to turn that in to a loss, which would not be acceptable.

The Club operates on a turnover of around £20k, which needs to be tightly controlled, particularly as it is mainly cash based. Expenses are mainly incurred on pitch hire for Saturday games and midweek training, petrol for travelling to away games, affiliation fees to the WHU and the South Wales League, goalkeeping kit and other running costs. This is largely funded by income from subs. and match fees, ‘100’ Club (have you and your family got a share – only £18pa ), and other social events.

All members are asked to do their bit to keep costs down, or increase income – you ring your captain to find out match arrangements, rather than the other way round, would be a good start; support and bring your own party along to socials and fundraising events – it all helps.

LET’S DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET FINANCIAL SUPPORT OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POCKETS ...
