Our Chairman would like to thank our outgoing current Membership Secretary and former Treasurer Richard Wood for his incredible and unwavering support to our Club since he responded to our urgent call for a new Treasurer after the sad loss of Malcolm Toms. Richard has introduced several very successful processes to make the Committee’s jobs more effective and enable smoother transactions for obtaining membership payments and especially match fees through the work with Pitchero. Richard has undertaken his appointment with professionalism and empathy and always with the Club’s finances and members at heart. Richard will be sorely missed for his assistance with the transition from Hampshire Hockey Association to South Central Hockey and his desire to help grass-roots hockey clubs succeed under the new operating model. Also we can’t thank Richard without thanking Mrs Wood for her much appreciated and looked after hand sewns team’s mask bags. The Club is financially stable thanks to his scrutiny of financial matters and we thank him for leaving the Club in a good place to carry on our work in the community. The Club wish Mr and Mrs Wood all the very best and thank you.
