Hungerford Town Council are organising a picnic for all on The Croft on Sunday 5th June 2022.
Having recently purchased a pizza oven the Hungerford Club will be using it to everybody’s advantage during the weekend celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee.
Both the pizza oven and barbecue will be fired up to provide picnickers on The Croft with delicious hot food freshly cooked.
Drinks will be available from the bar including the usual range of beers, lagers and soft drinks.
The club will open at noon on both Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June and will be taking orders from members and the public alike. To save congestion within the club, orders for food and drinks will be taken outside. Tables outside the club will have plates, cutlery etc.
We hope to see you on The Croft with your picnic blanket or chairs if you have them. We hope you have a great time with your family and friends as we all celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.

Use this form to apply for, or renew, your Hungerford Club membership for the Bowls or Indoor Sports sections.
The Tennis section uses the LTA Clubspark site to administer membership.
The Bowls section has a membership secretary who handles their renewals by emails and the post. Members of these sections may, therefore, renew their membership without visiting the club.
In the past the Indoor Sports section members have had to visit the club to collect a renewal form from the club bar. Once completed members would hand the form to the bar staff and pay the subscription whereupon a receipt would be issued. Please be assured, members may still do this when the bar is open.
We are aware there may be Indoor Sports members who would like to renew their membership without having to visit the bar.
Please follow these steps to renew your Indoor Sports (social) membership without having to visit the bar.

Recent visitors to The Hungerford Club can’t fail to notice a defibrillator box has appeared to the right of the club entrance.
We are pleased to announce that, as of 13:00 on Tuesday 18th Jan 2022, the defibrillator went live with the emergency services.
If you recall there was a fundraising campaign, via The Good Exchange, that completed in July. The club ordered the defibrillator and it was delivered late last year.
The cabinet that protects the defibrillator requires an electric supply. This is used to charge the batteries and to power a small heater that regulates the temperature within the cabinet. The supply circuit was connected last week paving the way for the cabinet to be mounted on the outside wall of the club. The unit went live after commissioning tests and updates to the emergency services database were complete.
As a piece of life saving equipment, the defibrillator has to be ready for use 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. To ensure this is the case weekly and monthly checks have to to be completed. After use, there has to be a more thorough check and the replacement of parts.
Should the defibrillator be needed dial 999 and ask the responder.
Importantly, while the defibrillator is owned by the club, it is there for the benefit of any member of the public.
The Hungerford Club wishes all members a Happy New Year.
There’s no formal newsletter this month but we have two things to pass on.
Firstly, the bar will be closed from Monday 10th January 2022 to Friday 14th January 2022 inclusive. The bar will open on Saturday 15th January with the normal winter opening hours. We are taking advantage of the quiet spell after New Year to carry out some maintenance in the bar area.
Secondly, we have decided that we will offer the members the opportunity of playing the game of table bowls through the winter months.
Table bowls is a game played on our snooker tables usually with two teams of two players. The game consists of rolling small bowls down a chute at a jack. The team with the nearest bowl to the jack gains a point and if the team has more than one bowl near the jack then that bowl will also score. Clearly the team with the highest score wins the game.
The simplicity of the game is that of the four bowls played each one has a different bias with the player using the bias to guide the bowl to the jack. Two or three ends will usually be enough to *Get your eye in*. The game is a fun game and has been played at the Club for a number of years. There are a number of members who will be only too pleased to give any member a quick demonstration of the game.
So this year we have a small committee who are prepared to restart the competition, so here we go!
Good Luck!
Please Note: No food is allowed in the Snooker Room
