A hockey club with more than 120 years of history is continuing its search for a permanent base where its pitches and clubhouse can finally sit side by side. Maidenhead Hockey Club plays its matches at Altwood School but uses facilities at Maidenhead and Bray Cricket Club – more than two miles away – as its clubhouse. At the same time, the club faces growing competition from neighbouring hockey clubs that have more modern facilities in one place. In a letter published in the Advertiser’s Viewpoint section last week, Claires Court principal James Wilding suggested the club might consider using facilities at Maidenhead Golf Club. Ms Todd welcomed the suggestion and thanked Mr Wilding for ‘raising the vision of our hockey club to have a clubhouse and pitch side by side’.
