Nick Burnett, TSC President, hosts the annual gathering of HLM/VP's who have made a major contribution over generations !

Formed in 1886 we're a Club with a long history and along with fellow TSC section's Cricket (1877) ,Lacrosse (1970) and Football (2016), we have much to be proud of as a club. With membership now at over 1100 and probably the best Club based hockey facilities in the North West we also have a debt to the many many members over the last 140 years that have made things happen at Timperley - from developing and running the sports sections to the running of Timperley Sports Club and the development of our shared facilities.

One of the ways TSC has traditionally recognised the contribution of members has been through the election at the TSC AGM of Honorary Life Members (HLM's) for services to TSC (the overall Club) and Vice Presidents (VP) for services to the clubs sections.

Since the opening of the new Clubhouse in 2012 the Club President, currently our very own Nick Burnett, has hosted a dinner for HLM's and VP's. As well as fund-raising for the Club this is a very special evening when many of those that have contributed over decade to the club and what we all enjoy today come together. It was good to see HLM's and VP's from across all the sports reflect on the things we do get right as a club, the progress, foresight and facilities we've developed and most of all the people who are and have been involved in the club to benefit all who are part of the club today.

Here's a look at who our HLM's and Hockey VP's are - some familiar names and some not but all have done their bit (and more) along with Club staff to give us the Club and facilities we enjoy today. For those who joined the club after 2001 you may be interested to take a look of the much loved 'Shed'. The Building on the right was the Men's Changing Rooms.

Hockey Section Vice Presidents
Hockey traditionally nominated VP's from each section and VP's recognise a significant contribution to the running of hockey at Timperley over a 7 year+ period. Our VP's have been active volunteers contributing to running hockey at the club in every way you can possibly think of !

VP's are nominated by the Hockey Section and put to the Timperley Sports Club AGM for approval. We'll be putting forward Hockey nominations to the TSC Executive in February / March - so do let Club Captains or any of the Committee know of any suggestions for outstanding contribution to hockey over 7 years +
