As members will be aware from the A.G.M. in November 2025 the committee have been working on a five year plan for the club.
Members were contacted via email and asked to complete a survey. The results of the survey and the plan have been approved by the club sports committees and are now available to all members.
It is essential that we have a plan to help us adapt and thrive into the future. I very much appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into producing the plan and fully endorse it’s goals and objectives.
A copy of the Hungerford Club five plan is now available for members to read, click on the link below.
Kind Regards,
Cliff Winckless,
Chairman

Members who are resident within the Hungerford parish will have received a polling card for the Hungerford Neighbourhood Plan referendum within the past week.
From conversations in the clubhouse it is clear that many members do not know how to access the neighbourhood plan to inform themselves on the plan on which they are being asked to vote.
As a public service we are posting a link to the West Berkshire website. Members may then access the various documents and the referendum draft of the Hungerford Neighbourhood Plan.
