Recording of attendees
If your club expects to have more than 50 people training / half pitch, you are advised to use a pre-booking system.
However, recording those who do attend is ESSENTIAL.
- Enter via the gate on the left, and leave through the other gate when finished training.
- ALL PERSONS who enter the Stead Park venue must check in using the QR code located on the wall as you enter. You can check in using your Hockey Victoria membership and password. If you do not have HV membership, you can enter your individual details in the form linked to the QR code.
- If you have difficulty scanning the QR code, use the link at the bottom of the QR code to access the form directly.
- When you leave, check out again using the QR code. If you checked by entering your individual details, you are unable to check out so just go.
