With schools closed for the summer recess, it can only mean one thing, the 25/26 hockey season is fast approaching and we can’t wait to welcome you all back on to the pitch in September.

Whilst players are enjoying some well deserved rest, the newly formed committee are busy behind the scenes making sure everything is in place for what we hope to be our most successful season yet. The ‘who’s who’ for our new committee and how to contact them can be found here: Contact Devizes Hockey Club

I would like to take this opportunity to say an enormous thank you to the small but very effective army of volunteers that have given so much time to the club over the previous season and those that are continuing again this coming year.

We are always in need of extra pairs of hands; if you have time, experience, ideas that you would be willing to share, please get in touch. In particular the position of Umpire Secretary is still vacant. To have a chat about this position and what it entails please contact: chairperson@devizeshockey.co.uk

Our training schedule has been finalised and is available on Pitchero. New players are always welcome; if you know someone who may be tempted to pick up a stick and dust off their astros please share our schedule, point them in the direction of Pitchero or bring them along in September.

As we get ready for the new 2025-2026 season, we will be in contact with all the updates. Please help us by making sure all your Pitchero contact information (phone numbers / email address etc) is up to date.

DHC is in need of sponsorship. Spread the word, and get in touch if you or someone you know may want to be a sponsor of our wonderful club.

If you have any question or want to discuss how to get involved or share sponsorship ideas please contact: chairperson@devizeshockey.co.uk

Have a wonderful summer and see you pitch side in September

Laura North
Chair
