Sunday 11th July promises to be a long and exciting day of sport. The Wimbledon’s Men’s singles and Mixed doubles finals are scheduled for the early afternoon, preceding England’s attempt to win a first major football tournament in 55 years! Both events will be available to watch at the club with the bar will be open from 12pm.
Debbie and Gary will be serving food from late afternoon. Members are not obliged but also invited to bring a dish of their choosing. For those who are unable to do so there will be a charity box for contributions to the defibrillator fund.
Until the end of July, Ladies, Mixed and Men’s tennis matches are taking place most weeks, commencing at 6.30pm Support is always appreciated and the bar will be open!
Well done to everyone who has represented the club recently in the matches. This month has seen several wins for the Ladies team, away to Kintbury and at home to Woodlands and away to Cold Ash. Well done to all.

The Hungerford Club has decided to purchase and install a potentially life-saving defibrillator to be mounted on the outside wall of the Club house, near the front door.
It will be mounted on the outside wall of the clubhouse within a locked/coded cabinet and available for anyone to use 24 hours a day
Whilst it is being provided for club members, it is available to anyone in the Croft who needs it.
The cabinet code can be obtained by dialling 999. The unit is fully automatic and has full instructions. It is available for all ages with paediatric pads included.

We have placed a fund raising application on The Good Exchange to raise the money for this device and invite all members to contribute, (you can do so anonymously if wished). Please click here to access the funding page and follow the instructions. Thank you for your generosity and support.
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.
The Hungerford Club is pleased to announce that it will re-open on the following dates.
Sportsground
Tennis will open on the 29th March, subject to restrictions as issued via the LTA and already circulated to tennis section members.
The Bowls Green will reopen on Saturday 17th April.
The Club House
The Club House will re-open on Wednesday 14th April for outdoor table service to members only. Social distancing rules still apply.
