Membership and match fees.
In order to make London hockey as accessible and affordable as possible, we strive to keep costs at a minimum by:
Supplying free team shirts for all our hockey players
Seeking sponsors and partnerships for our hockey club, teams and players
Fundraising throughout the year, including running our corporate CAWHL summer league and other events around East London
Providing a concession rate for students and those with low income
Please note:
Match fees and ticketed social events are charged in addition to membership. Match fees can vary depending on team and travel arrangements but are approximately £10 per game. For information on ticketed event costs please see our Events page.
If a member is facing financial difficulties, the hockey club’s policy is to put in place an appropriate payment plan. The Club Treasurer is available to discuss this on a confidential basis.
If you choose to pay in instalments, the first payment is due by the 1st of October and the three subsequent payments are taken monthly thereafter
If you are uncertain on which membership type to select, please reach out to the Club Treasurer to agree, ahead of payment. This could help save on avoidable card processing fees that do mount up.
