Club History Whitnash Sports and Social Club has been the sports centre of the town for over 50 years. In the late 1950's Whitnash was a village of approximately 5,000 people and the only organised sport outside school that was taking place locally was football played on a farmer's field. The community acknowledged the need for a centre for sport and they organised weekly collections and fundraising activities to build a Sports and Social Club on land donated for that purpose by a local builder. The building was constructed through the labours of its members and the Club was opened in 1959, without any outside financial assistance. Within a very short period of time, the members also built a bowling green and tennis courts. Throughout the years, the Club has maintained football teams, both senior and junior, on the adjoining playing fields. In the last few years, a further facility was built for the purpose of playing petanque (French Boules) and all sports sections are now thriving. At different times it has also had a cricket team and rugby team but, because of the limitations of the adjoining Council-maintained playing field, these eventually ceased. |
