Getting ready!

The recent spell of pleasant weather provided an opportunity for both the Bowls and Tennis sections to prepare for the restrictions on outdoor sports to be lifted.

The bowls section have treated the green with both a fertiliser and moss treatment. The latter has given the green a rather dark look but that is to be expected.

Bowling grren looking a little dark after moss treatment.

Meanwhile the tennis section have been cleaning the courts. Again, moss is the problem. To really clean the court surface a powerful jet washer was hired. This has a rotating head with multiple jets. The machine is slowly pushed over the courts, cleaning a stripe on each pass. Really stubborn parts can be give an extra clean using the lance which is also used to jet the resulting dirt to the edges of the courts.

COVID Update – 24th Feb 2021

Due to the government lock down restrictions the Hungerford Club is closed. There are no tennis or bowls activities at the moment.

Following the recent government announcements and, in consultation with Bowls England and the Lawn Tennis Association, we are looking forward to opening for outdoor sports “no earlier than” 29th March 2021. To that end we have started preparing the courts and green in anticipation. All the club buildings will remain closed.

We are evaluating the guidance that drinks may be served “no earlier than” 12th April 2021 to members sitting outdoors. No firm decision has been made but we hope to have further news soon.

We would like to remind members that subscriptions for 2021 are due from 1st April 2021.

New website

Welcome to the new Hungerford Club website.

The previous website needed some fairly serious work to bring it up to day. The problem wasn’t just with the content but also with the website software too. The answer was to re-engineer the site with new software running on a new server. We hope you like it!
