Membership And Match Fees
We use a payment system whereby the annual membership fee (AMF), is paid via a joining fee at the start of the year on Spond, and then a direct debit through Spond is set up, over the following 7 months, from September to March (inclusive) or you have the option to pay in full. Club members will no longer have to pay match fees each week, during league games.
Membership Fees For 2024-25 Season
Please Note: Membership/match fees are subject to change following the conclusion of the clubs AGM
This page shows how much it costs to play for Waltham Forest Hockey Club. Our fees are calculated by the club treasurer, then reviewed by the committee and are agreed by the members at the AGM for the forthcoming season. This is to ensure that the club does not run at a loss.
