 AGM - 2nd June 2024 22 Apr 2024 This year's AGM will be held at TRF on Sunday 2nd June 2024 at 1pm. A social event, probably some matches, are hopefully being arranged with a view to being played before the AGM. There is also the possibility of food being available after the AGM so people can hang around and have a drink with something to eat whilst catching up with fellow club members. The club needs both players and parents to try and help in some way i.e. it could be just for a few hours a month or you might fancy taking on a club role either fully or partially for next season. All club positions are available. Any time you can give to the club would be great!
 Membership packages - do/don't include 26 Feb 2024 Just a quick post to clarify what membership packages (diamond & platinum) do and don't include! Membership packages are only effective from when they were set up.. Any fees prior to set up will still appear as an outstanding debt. Also please note that packages are not applicable for friendlies and Sunday cup fixtures/matches so again will show as a debt. This is on the basis that we have not priced them in this way - as its a very ad-hoc item that many players don't opt to join in! If you have any further queries then please contact either membership@norwichcityhc.co.uk or accounts@norwichcityhc.co.uk for further assistance.
