GHA Pre-season Updates

Governance - AGM

• The AGM date will be announced with sufficient notice once the GHA financials and audit have been completed. This is most likely to be in April.

Fees

• Clubs can rest assured that the GHA has not deviated from its commitment of no fee increases outside of CPI.

• The GHA does not control Hockey Australia and Hockey WA membership fees which are paid directly by members to the governing body.

• Information regarding those charges has been sent out by HA/ HWA.

Competitions

• With team nominations incoming, clubs are reminded that teams must first field an A grade side prior to reserve grades as a general rule. The GHA must be made aware of any intentions outside of this as soon as possible.

• The new by-laws are well under way, and have been presented to Clubs, prior to ratification at the AGM.

• We have received strong junior number registrations. Strong junior numbers are a great indication of the seasons ahead.

Turf Access

• The Turfs are fully operational, though some minor works are in progress.

• The turfs are to be accessed only via the stairs from the building.

• Please do not open turf side gates unless absolutely necessary.

• The current approved accessway is via the main carpark gates.

• In the coming week or so the access code to the turf-side gates will be changed.

Club Storage Cubicles

• Club storage cubicles (for balls, cones, equipment, etc) are now available for use in the Sea container. To register your club's interest, please contact the GHA.

Lights & Sprinklers

• All lights and sprinklers are operational on both turfs, although some minor maintenance is in progress on sprinklers

• A new controller box has been installed for the sprinklers, so if not sure on its operation, please enquire.

Busy Bee

• The GHA intends to run a second busy bee to ready the stadium for the season's start.

• The previous busy bee was a success, however it was more focused on the Turfs project, and some work has emerged since then that will need doing.

• Clubs are encouraged to attend to assist in a smooth start to the season. The date is to be confirmed, however will likely be mid-April.

COVID 19 Updates in-line with HWA. Keep informed via Facebook and website.

Thank you
