Code Of Conduct

As a member of FELIXSTOWE HOCKEY CLUB, I understand and agree to the following:

On payment of my subscription I will be a member of FELIXSTOWE HOCKEY CLUB and will have full access to all club facilities as well as the social activities of the club.

MEMBERSHIP AND MATCH FEES

• Non-payment of membership subscription and match fees will lead to me being prevented from playing.
• Match fee reductions are only available for unemployed and student memberships.
• There is no match fee reduction for those that work part time.
• I will pay half match fees for any game where I play 35 minutes or less. I will pay full match fees when I play more than 35 minutes.
• If I require any financial assistance with my subscription or match fees this must be agreed in writing with the membership secretary prior to the beginning of the season.
• Any grievances relating to the above should be passed in writing to the membership secretary.

TRAINING

• I will arrive for training prepared to play and fully utilise the facilities that the club provide me.
• I will respect the coaching team and support them by applying myself in all drills.
• I will not disrupt other club members and understand that if I do not adhere to the above points I may be asked to leave training.

PERSONAL CONDUCT

• I understand that I am an ambassador for FELIXSTOWE HOCKEY CLUB whilst I represent them on the pitch, after matches, at training and at social events.
• By being an ambassador I will behave respectfully at all times. I understand that aggressive behaviour, foul language, anti-social behaviour and discrimination are unacceptable and may lead to disciplinary action.
• If I have an issue that bothers me I will use the clubs grievance procedure as detailed in our constitution found on the clubs website.
• I will not use social networking sites to undermine any single club member or the club itself. I understand that this can be classed as libel and may lead to legal action against either myself or the club. Any actions contrary to this will lead to disciplinary procedures.
• If for any reason I am unable to play due to injury or illness I will inform my captain promptly.
• If there are any other reasons that I am unable to play then I will inform my captain as soon as I can.
• I understand that not doing this may lead to disciplinary action.
• I understand that the club provides liability insurance but does not cover me in the event of an accident.
• I am at liberty to organize my own accident cover if I wish to do so.

CLUBHOUSE

• I understand that the clubhouse is for members only and if I bring any persons with me they are my responsibility.
• I understand that guests are welcome but must pay a fee of £2 to enter the club after 6pm and be signed in by a member.
• I will respect the policies of the bar with respect to the license.
• I understand that only alcohol purchased on the premises may be consumed on it.

EQUIPMENT

• I understand that equipment provided by the club must be returned to the club. I will not take equipment provided by the club and understand that by doing so I may be disciplined.
• I realise that I am responsible for any damage by myself to club equipment and may be requested to replace or repair damaged items.
• I understand that a percentage of my subscription could be used to replace stolen or damaged equipment.
