The next step is to set up our Non-Executive Committee for 2023. This group meet monthly to plan the season, share ideas and discuss our clubs development under the directive of our Executive Board. Some of the team from this season are keen to continue, but we have a few spots on the committee we are looking to be filled, contact Maxine to discuss further.
Our club also has a few non-committee roles. So if you want to raise your hand, get more involved and volunteer (without attending meetings) then please get in touch with Jenni, our club secretary admin@margaretriverhockey.org.au and we will find a role that fits in with your time and interests.

The Handbook was compiled in collaboration with APM, who specialise on enhancing an individual’s employability, health and wellbeing, and social and economic participation in their community. This includes for people with disability.
