We often receive high praise for our hospitality at the club house, and we are therefore passionate about securing our own astroturf on site to make the club a whole community venue. We are very fortunate that the club regularly invests money to improve the facilities.” Challenges/Ambitions “Our main concerns at the moment are for the region as we are losing more and more hockey pitches and the knock on effect to us is that pitch availability is limited. We are struggling to source significant funding to support our vision of building our own hockey pitch to try to overcome the potential pitch availability problem. We will continue to work towards obtaining funds for our own pitch on site, increasing membership and our community work and winning EHB club of the year. We aim to deliver satellite club sessions to primary schools and secondary schools in the Middlesbrough area and promote a positive image of the club and the sport.” www.martonhockey.co.uk www.sportip.biz 27
