FUNDRAISING ON THE NIGHT / AUCTION and RAFFLE
The Dinner Awards is one of our big fundraisers and this year we're raising funds towards the Development Fund hockey has to contribute to TSC and Hockey projects.

Since 2020 TSC has invested nearly £500,000 on replacing the two pitches, new floodlights, fencing and hockey has contributed over £12,000 from our fundraising to the pitches, dug outs and this season we donated £5,000 to the new Blue Pitch and LED Lights. So every pound we raise at the Dinner gives us the funds to invest back into our facilities so please do do deep. There aren't many clubs who have invested this much in the past 5 years and giving us some of the best playing facilities in the NW.
