Public benefits
At present, the public benefits from playing for the Club are for females; however there are male members involved in coaching roles for example who also derive public benefits from their membership. The public benefits for Club members that flow from the Club’s object comprise: improved fitness and physical and mental wellbeing; enhanced social
interaction, camaraderie, enjoyment and self-esteem through both playing hockey and non-playing activities; opportunities for participation in training and in competition with other Clubs under the auspices of the governing body, Ulster Hockey; particular focus on the development of younger participants in the sport from age 5 upwards in consultation with local schools. These public benefits can be demonstrated by the thriving membership base of the Club and the substantial levels of participation by Club members in its sporting and social activities. The Club currently puts out 4 senior teams and several junior teams. In terms of public harm, as with any physical sport, there is the risk of injury from playing hockey. This risk is reduced by the Club’s insistence on the use of appropriate protective equipment, warm up and warm down routines and further mitigated by Ulster Hockey public and personal liability insurance policies. Club members No direct private benefit accrues to anyone from the Club's object or activities. An incidental private benefit may be conferred where a person’s prospects of competing in sport professionally are enhanced as a result of their participation in the activities of the Club.
