Back to Hockey for Men

Our Back to Hockey for Women has been running now for just over five years. Mike Fitter has a long experience of getting people back to hockey and has joined us from Southgate. His sons both play for GHC and we are thrilled that he is keen to provide opportunities for those who haven't played for a while or are new to the sport.

Here are the men enjoying one of their first sessions - they made huge strides during the hour and seemed to have really enjoyed it.









All welcome - please see details of our Family Xmas Event below.

Contact Mike Fitter for more information.

New GHC Sponsor: Bramley Golf Club


Bramley is a special club - owned and run by its members - that has been part of the local community since 1913.  

The course overlooks the stunning Surrey Hills and, although not long at just over 6000 yards, proves a stern test if you are not accurate off the tee.

The club is open to members, visitors and societies as well as having a fantastic space for functions, weddings and conferences.

As with previous years, Guildford hockey players of all ages will be very welcome at Bramley.
 
A really big thank you to Peter Gordon for organising this Sponsor for us!!!

For more information, see the Bramley Golf Club website:
 

Or contact Peter through InTouch (reply if you would like to be put in intouch)
Junior Skills Camps are Back - Next Dates Thursday 2 and Friday 3 January 2020
 
 
 
Book to take advantage of our fun-filled and challenging GHC Camps designed and run by GHC Director of Hockey, double Olympian Dan Fox.

Take your hockey to the next level - and have a great time doing it.

easyfundraising for Guildford HC

Help keep the cost of your hockey down...for free...when you shop online


Let's face it, the cost of every ball, bib and hour of pitch hire adds up.

At GHC our dedicated volunteers and terrific network of sponsors help us keep costs down. But there is still more we can do to keep the club's finances in balance so we can achieve more, play more, enjoy more.

Sign up for easyfundraising and the Club benefits every time you shop online with an easyfundraising partner.

Repeat: this costs you nothing - but money comes into the Club when you shop online!

Please be sure to sign up before this year's Black Friday and Christmas shopping are finished.

There are also frequent bonuses like now - double donations until Sunday and £50 for the Club if you are in the market for a new mobile phone:




Your InTouch editor signed up one year ago; 20 online shopping transactions over the year have netted £21 for the Club. Imagine if 100 or 500 people were to sign up! (Or if I shopped a bit more!)

That could be thousands of ££ for the Club without any additional cost to you.


This short video explains how simple it is:
