I am very pleased to announce that Councillor Marion Rough has forwarded Ashford Hockey Club a cheque from the Concil’s “Better Neighbourhoods Grant Scheme”. The scheme aims to help the Council work better with the local community and improve well-being for residents at the same time. Each Borough Councillor has a small fund, which they can allocate to projects in order to improve quality of life in their ward.
We have been in discussion with Councillor Rough (who played the odd game Ashford Ladies in times gone by), and we will be spending the money to purchase two new trophies for the Colts Section, namely the Council Cup and Spelthorne Sheild. The Colts Committee are currently deciding what the trophies will be awarded for each season and they hope to present them to the first recipients at the forthcoming Colts Presentation evening, details of which will be announced shortly.
Our thanks go to both Councillor Marion Rough and Spelthorne Borough Council for their generous donation.
