sports and social facilities for Watlington and surrounding communities

 

 

 

Description: Description: Description: D:\_WMC\Marketing, Membership & web\Web Site\Ver 3 Aug09\Index thumbs.jpg

Watlington is a great place to live and work. It has all the best qualities of living in a small country town with historic buildings, superb Chiltern countryside, good local facilities and shops. At the heart of Watlington is the Watlington Memorial Club, and hidden behind it a treasure of sports facilities.


The Club boasts a membership of over 700 who make full use of the on-site sporting and games facilities - Tennis, Racquetball, Squash, Bowls, and Snooker. Inside the main building, we have the main Community Hall and kitchen and lounge/bars area which act as a social focus with services when required, for members, non members and for functions.

Our previous Chairman, Nathan Buckland, has died after a long battle with cancer.

 

He was a stalwart of the club for many years, giving his hands-on approach to both social club and charity.

 

Our thoughts and condolences go to Julie and the family

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAIRMAN STEPS DOWN

 

At the AGM on 21st September, Miriam Wilcock announced her retirement from the charity committee after steering the club from uncertain future and finances 5 years ago into a position of forward looking stability. Quite an achievement!

 

Robin Holmes-Smith, Vice-chairman, has taken over the role for the time being, but in the longer term, he and his committee are keen for “new blood” to provide fresh ideas and experience in running the charity.

The club front has had a much needed facelift and renovations to the windows. We hope that this will give members a High Street frontage to be proud of!

          THE BAR

Description: Description: Description: D:\_WMC\Marketing, Membership & web\Web Site\Ver 3 Aug09\bar 1.jpgThe WMC & its members were thrilled when Curly Coles and his family took over in autumn 2008, bringing their expertise and long tradition as landlords in Watlington to our own bars.

 

 

They are now hosting the darts team, providing Aunt Sally and pool, and provide support for functions when required.

The bars are once more the perfect place for a purely social drink or for thirsty squash & tennis players and bowlers alike!

 

Specific catering and bar arrangements in association with events in the hall & Georgian room bar can be organised either through the WMC or the bar.
