Club
The Sheffield University Banker's Hockey Club plays most of its games on the Goodwin Astroturf pitches at the University of Sheffield, but also plays games at local schools, including Tapton School and King Edward VII School (Sheffield). It does not have a purpose-built clubhouse like many similar sized sports clubs, so it uses a local public house 'The Cobden View', in Crookes, for post match meetings and social purposes.
The Club is one of England Hockey's 4 National Performance Centres (NPCs), providing funding for improved training facilities and selection/support of potential England team players.

Famous quotes containing the word club:
“The adjustment of qualities is so perfect between men and women, and each is so necessary to the other, that the idea of inferiority is absurd.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 204 (August 1866)
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
