Administrator of the Hungerford Club website
The Hungerford Club would like to recruit a local person to fill the role of part time bar staff to assist the Hungerford Club Steward.
Hours are flexible but would normally include two shifts of 8 hours per week plus holiday cover for the Steward.
Due to licencing regulations candidates must be over 18 years of age.
If you are interested please call in at The Hungerford Club during opening hours or send an email to hungerfordclub@icloud.com
The Tennis Section of the Hungerford Club is excited to be holding a members day on Saturday 29th May (the Bank Holiday Weekend). Although it is being organised by the Tennis Section, it is very informal and all Hungerford Club members who would like to take part are welcome.
Lockdown restrictions were eased from 17th May, however by law we will still be restricted to the ‘Rule of 30’ for post-play social/catering (the ‘Rule of 30’ will also apply to group tennis play from the 17th).
The day will therefore take the form of two separate Club Play slots from 10am-1pm (Club Play finishing from around 12pm, with food and drink available at the Hungerford Club from around 12pm), and 4pm-7pm (food and drink from 6pm).
Tennis and post tennis numbers will need to be managed carefully so that we can remain within the tennis and social gathering limits.
If you would like to participate on the day:
The Tennis Section will then contact you nearer the time with further information.
The Government restrictions are slightly relaxed from Monday 17th May 2021.
Indoor service is allowed, subject to:
Whilst not part of the Government restrictions, please leave the furniture where it has been placed, it is there for your own safety!
Thank you

Those members who may wish to renew their membership without visiting the club may do so by following the guidelines here.
We would like to remind members that subscriptions for 2021 become due on 1st April 2021. Subscription rates and details for renewing bowls and tennis membership are published here.
The Civid-9 pandemic has affected many organisations and The Hungerford Club has not been immune. The various lock downs have closed all the sports activities for much of the year past and for the Indoor Sports section this has meant no access to the club building and bar.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
