Hungerford Neighbourhood plan referendum

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.

CAMRA presents Hungerford Club with Club of the year 2025 award.

CAMRA presents Hungerford Club with Club of the year award - 2025

A big thank you to Debbie and her team and all of the members who made the Beer Festival such a success.  It was so successful that we had to close on the bar on Tuesday morning because we had sold out of everything!

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 addition of a Pimms and Prosecco bar broadened the appeal.

On the Saturday of the Hungerford Club beer festival the club Steward, Debbie Hutchins, was presented with the Best Social Club in West Berkshire Award by a representative from CAMRA. This is a lovely accolade and recognises all the hard work Debbie does selling different real ales and keeping them in tip top condition.

This is the sixth year that the club has won the Club of the year award.
