A word from the Chairman
I have been associated with Oxted for over ten years and it is incredible what the club has achieved in that time. The club is thriving and runs teams for over 60`s to under 8`s - wonderful to see! So there really is something for the whole family!
Why I enjoy the club so much is because of the friendliness amongst the members. It is great that we want to get involved, develop our own playing standards, help develop others and contribute in a variety of ways to the successful running of the club.
The club is progressing in many fronts and I am particularly pleased that the club has achieved its two main targets from last season - achieving Clubs First Accreditation and a new pitch (details on the homepage). This is wonderful news for the club and a big thank you to all those who made both these targets become reality.
The club doesn`t stand still and this year we are introducing a Ladies 3rd XI, an U21 side and starting our own Academy. All three initiatives lie at the core of the club - developing our youngsters - so that they will one day represent our Men`s and Ladies 1st teams. Talking about developing our younger members, it gave me great satisfaction to see our U10 Boys sweep everything aside in winning the Surrey Championships, South of England Championships and Surrey Youth Games. This was a wonderful achievement for the team and the club - well done to everyone who played a part in making this possible.
We continue to have longer term projects and goals that we want to achieve in order to reach our long term objective of being one of the top National League clubs in South England
May I take this opportunity of thanking all the hard working committee members - they give up a lot of their valued time for the good of the club week in, week out. Also, to all the captains and coaches from 1st teams right down to the Juniors - a BIG THANK YOU.
Good luck to all our teams this year:

Enjoy your hockey,
