By order of the committee of The Hungerford Club – 28th September 2026
She’s only gone and done it again! On the Saturday of the Hungerford Club beer festival the club Steward, Debbie Hutchins, was presented with the Club of the Year Award – West Berkshire by a representative from CAMRA.
Steward Debbie and her team and of volunteers made the Beer Festival such a success.
A huge amount of planning goes in to make sure we have the beers, ciders, food, and the live music for this three day event. The bespoke printing on the keep-or-return cups and the aprons was a great idea and the Pimms and Prosecco bar broadened the appeal.
The Best Club of the Year award is a lovely great accolade and recognises all the hard work Debbie puts into selling different real ales and keeping them in tip top condition.
This is the seventh year that the club has won the Club of the year award.
Hungerford Bowls Club have now played all of their league matches and came top in the Ashley Baker Wednesday mixed league with 139 points. The club played against 9 teams, one match at home then one away, so 18 games in total so winning the league was a very pleasing result.
The club played St Mary Bourne Bowls Club for the R&J Broad Trophy and won by 10 shots. The photo above shows our Captain, Derek Barton, receiving the trophy from St Mary Bourne’s Captain.
The men played against Newbury for the Godwin Cup over 2 legs, one at home and one away, and they won by 3 shots – another great result!
Finally the club played Kintbury, over 2 legs, for the Mick Gainey Shield and won by an amazing 37 shots so another trophy to be displayed in the clubhouse. The photo below shows Derek Barton receiving the trophy from Kintbury.
The Hungerford Beer Festival 2026 will be held over the August Bank Holiday 2026 from 12 until 6pm each day.
There are a selection of 14 beers, some local and some from further afield. Also, by popular request, we have 6 ciders.
Pimms & Prosecco stall
The BBQ will be serving food from 12 until 6pm for those who may wish to have something to eat.
Each day there will be live music to enjoy.
All start times are approximate.
After playing 18 ends it is a pleasure to report Hungerford Bowls Club won with an overall score of 76 to Hungerford and 66 to Westlecot.
After the match our Captain Derek Barton was presented with the Rose Bowl Trophy.
The Hungerford Bowls Club are also doing very well in the Ashley Baker Mixed league, played on Wednesday evenings. At the beginning of June 2026 the club is top of the league with 56 points.
