23 May 1957-23 August 2026

It was with great sadness that we heard the news of the passing of Charlie Martin last Sunday evening.

Charlie was a Life Member of Hockey Geelong as well as a Life Member of Hockey Victoria for his services to hockey in general and umpiring in particular. He was well known throughout the state for his commitment to hockey.

Charlie`s contribution to hockey in the Geelong region included administration of:
🏑 Victorian Women`s Country Championships
🏑 Winchelsea Hockey Club
🏑 Hockey Geelong competition results and players registration
🏑 Training and mentoring of umpires

Charlie mentored many local hockey players and umpires, encouraging them and guiding all in all ways.

Charlie is survived by Bev and two sons, Jim and Ben, daughters-in-law Lucy and Leah and grandchildren Thomas, Noah and Orla.

The funeral for Charlie Martin is on Monday 31 August at Quinn Funerals Chapel at Wesley Place, 15 Skene Street, Colac from 1.00pm. A private burial will take place after.

The Hockey Geelong community is richer for Charlie’s immense contribution and poorer for his passing. RIP Charlie.

Thanks to Phil Frost for the photos. He even caught up with former Newtown parent Emile Saraber and Newtown legend Damien Lanyon - who hardly looks any different!! Emile normally plays for the Netherlands but injury forced him to watch from the stands. Damien now lives in Detroit and plays for USA.

🏑 Volunteers Wanted – Grand Final Day!

Grand Final Day on Saturday August 22 is going to be a fantastic celebration of hockey, with a full day of exciting matches and plenty happening around the grounds!

We’re looking for volunteers to help make the day a success. Whether you can help for an hour, a few hours, or the whole day, every bit of support is greatly appreciated.

📷 Volunteer photographer to take photos during the day of matches, team presentations, awards recipients, spectators enjoying the day. It does not have to be the whole day – just let us know when you might be able to help. We are happy to work with you and your availability.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Help set up and/ or pack up the marquees which will be used as canteen and shelter as the pavilion is not available. Demolition on the old pavilion has begun.

🚻 Assist with keeping toilets clean – checked every hour, floors mopped, rubbish emptied.

🛑 Mark out no parking areas and players areas with cones.

🚮 Put bins put out from the fenced area near the containers to around the fence line – and bring them back in at the end of the day.

🚚 Food will be provided via a number of food trucks plus a BBQ (thanks to Saints Hockey Club). More details of these in a few days. The food trucks will be located on the East side towards the city end of the pitch.
