The 2026 Hockey Geelong Annual General Meeting is coming up on Wednesday November 25, 7.00 pm at the Geelong Hockey Centre, Stead Park, Corio.
Vacancy for Hockey Geelong President
I wish to advise the Hockey Geelong community that I shall not be standing as President at the AGM on Wednesday 25 th November. I feel it is time for someone else to take the association to the next stage of our development.
It has been a pleasure to serve the community and get to know and help so many people.
I am of the view that the association is in a very good state. We have advanced in the following areas:
1. The best hockey centre in the state
2. The agreement to bring Hockey Club Melbourne matches to Geelong
3. The gaining of the Victorian Country Championships to Stead Park
4. A clear plan for the replacement of the Nette Williams pitch
5. Record sponsorships for Hockey Geelong
6. The partnership with Hockey Victoria to develop hockey on the Surf Coast
7. Player numbers have gone from 685 to 1,000
8. Compliance in governance and development in policy.
I encourage members to consider the role of President and other executive positions that will be vacant. It is so rewarding to contribute to our association.
The role of President may seem daunting but you will be supported by a fine executive and many other stakeholders. I am also available to advise or mentor someone if you so feel or leave you alone.
Hockey Geelong has been presented with a fantastic opportunity and we must take advantage of it. It has taken a great deal of work to get to this position.
I wish to thank everyone who has supported me over the past three years and wish you well. Over to you.
Best wishes.
Graeme Dent
