CLUB INFO

 

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

In April each year at the end of the winter season, the club holds an Annual General Meeting. This gives us club members a chance to review the past season, discuss the running of the club and elect club officers. All club members are welcome to attend and details are displayed on this site for several weeks before the meeting. The minutes of the most recent AGM can be found below.

WFHC Constitution

At the AGM in April 2006, club members agreed to adopt a constitution. This useful document sets out how we intend the club to function. It not only demonstrates our commitment to having a fun yet well run hockey club, it is also one of the steps towards achieving Clubs 1st accreditation with England Hockey. A copy of the constitution can be downloaded below or for more information click here: England Hockey Clubs 1st accreditation

Club Badge History

The club badge was designed an ex Wanstead player Paul Lidbury.

Elements of the badge explained:

Red Rose of The Hockey Association.
Blue Shield of the Essex County Association.
White hart or stag and shield/oak trees from the coat of arms of the Borough of Waltham Forest, wearing the red and gold colours of West Essex HC, which amalgamated with Wanstead HC in 1974/75.
Heron, wearing blue and white, the emblem and colours of Wanstead HC, and also part of the coat of arms of the Borough of Wanstead and Woodford. Wanstead HC relocated to become Waltham Forest HC in 1989.

In 2010 we created a new vector version of the club badge, including some updates to give it a more modern feel, whilst retaining the traditional and historical elements.
