In 2022 took the opportunity to Chair the Club in an acting capacity for this season. I have been delighted to work with our management team, players, team captains, coaches and supporters to drive the continued growth and success of MHC.

Our 2022/23 season has been full of excitement and challenges. Returning to hockey post covid, recruiting and welcoming a new Director of Hockey, and the U18 girls winning the L2 England Hockey Championships were fantastic achievements.

We have significant plans for the Club over the coming years. For some time, we have sought a site for a second pitch and a clubhouse, which continues. We are pushing ahead with further EH accreditation to help us reach our goal of becoming a recognised EH talent centre. We aim to accelerate the Club’s growth over the next two seasons through our successes at all levels of ability. We are a club where there is a place for everyone, and all are welcome.

Our Club is run by the MHC Management Committee, captains, and volunteer coaches. We are committed to and support the England Hockey RESPECT Policy for Ethics and Behaviour and their Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework.

As we move toward the start of a new season, we would love to see you or your child playing hockey as part of our Club. If you have questions about membership, you should address them to membershipsecretary@maidenheadhc.org.uk . However, should you have questions for me, I would be happy to answer them. I can be contacted at chair@maidenheadhc.org.uk

I hope to see you on the pitch very soon.

Warmest wishes,
Gill Towell
