We are continually monitoring matters regarding reopening our facilities in line with Government, Sport England, and England Hockey guidelines. Much work is going on behind the scenes but at present we wish to advise:

Pitch - Although Maidstone Borough Council are to remove the barriers put up at the beginning of the lockdown (which have been unlawfully damaged to allow entry onto the pitch) we are not officially opening the pitch for hire. Any hockey activity on the pitch should conform to current guidelines for Step 2 (a full copy can be found on EH website), which states only same household groups, or no more than six individuals socially distanced.

Clubhouse – We shall not be opening the bar until at least 1st August, and any internal use will be limited and operated strictly in accordance with current regulations.

In both cases suitable reviews will take place should any guidelines change.

The England Hockey website (linked here) provides further details of the guidance we are following to hopefully get us back to hockey by next season.
