Membership & Match Fees

Membership Types

A Junior League member is an under 18 player that plays in a senior team (1st, 2nd or 3rd Team). A Junior League member is registered on the England Hockey GMS to play in the North West Hockey League. The have an additional responsibility in attending the AGM and are expected to vote on Club matters. A Junior member is an under 18 player that plays in the junior teams only. They are not expected or entitled to vote at the AGM.

Social membership entitles a person to vote at the AGM. An application to become a Social Member must be made in writing to the Lancaster Hockey Club Committee. If you have previously been accepted as a Social Member you do not have to reapply but membership fees are due each season.

It is expected that players playing in the Vets Team contribute towards the Club. There is a social membership of £30 which entitles the member to vote at the AGM or there is a Vets Player membership of £20 which allows the player to play for our Vets Team.

Match Fees

Match fees are due before each game. Any player that has not paid on the day of a match is expected to resolve the outstanding match fee at training. Players will not be selected for matches if they have outstanding debt.

If a member chooses to pay for match fees via the Club bank account, please can this be completed in blocks of 5 to reduce administration (£30 Adults or £20 Students/Juniors).

If a member plays two fixtures in a day, they are only expected to pay for one match. The match fee should be paid at the first match before the game.

Training Fees

Training fees between August and April are included in each full membership package. A non-member who attends any Club training is expected to pay a registration fee (£25 adult or £20 junior) to cover EH affiliation, league fees and insurance plus pay £5 per session before the training session starts.

For further details on our membership or to discuss payment options please get in touch with our Finance and Membership Officer, Emma Wood.

Before we even get out on the pitch there are a number of expenses we need to pay for each individual player that is playing in the senior leagues. Here is a breakdown of what your membership covers:
