Your Local Sports Club for Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Squash & Fitness
Established in 1958 as a cricket club, we have evolved into a thriving community hub offering rugby, tennis, squash, fitness training, and social activities. Our 700+ members benefit from state-of-the-art facilities including modern changing rooms, a licensed bar serving discounted meals, and dedicated spaces for group classes. Recognised by Sport England as Bucks' sole Pathfinder Club, we host top-tier local teams across multiple sports while maintaining our non-profit ethos. Our volunteer-led committee ensures all surpluses reinvest directly into facility improvements, evidenced by recent squash court refurbishments supported through member fundraising.With family-friendly initiatives like our 5-sport junior membership and weekly social events including quiz nights and seasonal balls, we combine athletic excellence with community spirit. Our fitness trainers deliver both individual sessions and group classes catering to all ability levels, while our venue hire options accommodate private functions from birthday parties to corporate events.
