The 2022/ 2023 Annual Report and the Financial Report were presented to the Annual General Meeting on November 16, 2023 for consideration by members.
Thanks to the members of the 2022/ 2023 Committee. Their co-operation, enthusiasm and ideas have all contributed to the excellent year in which the Newtown City Hockey Club and its members achieved many great things both on and off field.
With the Annual General Meeting done and dusted, our focus turns to the 2023/ 2024 year.
Hockey is an all year round sport these days, and it is important to begin planning for the next year well before we reach the beginning of the winter season.
