June took over the provision of our post-match meals in 2014 and has, for well over a decade, catered for thousands of hockey players from far and wide. She also kept an eye on the clubhouse during quiet times of the day, ensuring uninvited guests were quickly, and politely, shown the door.
The thoughts of all at Chelmsford Hockey Club are with June’s family at this difficult time.

“Millie”, as she was known to most, was a permanent fixture between the posts for, first, Chelmsford Ladies HC and, following the clubs’ 1998 merger, for the newly formed Chelmsford HC until illness prevented her from playing last season. A goalkeeper who played for every Chelmsford team during her career and an enthusiastic and able performer for the mixed teams in various fixtures, festivals and tournaments throughout the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, she will be missed by many.
While funeral arrangements will be announced in due course, the thoughts of everyone at Chelmsford HC are with Sue’s brother, Tim, and extended family.

While the family are still coming to terms with Roger’s death they have suggested that, perhaps in the future, they will hold some sort of gathering in his memory. in the meantime, they have requested that when we get together as a group of friends at the Old Chelmsfordians or Chelmsford Hockey Club, we remember him, talk about him and raise a glass in his name.

Roger, or “Gaffers” as he was affectionately known by many, played for the club from the 1960s until retiring from Veterans hockey in the early 1980s. He also played cricket and hockey for the Old Chelmsfordians, having attended KEGS, and taught for most of his working life at Rainsford School, Chelmsford where he was much loved by pupils for his enthusiasm for school sports, particularly cricket.
When not teaching or playing sport he could often be found in the Old Chelmsfordians’ clubhouse bar or the Walnut Tree pub in Broads Green!
A gentle and kind man, he will be missed by those who knew him. Chelmsford Hockey Club would like to convey condolences to Roger’s family. Funeral details to follow.
