Sports Club
The Village Hall and Sports Club have their own website.
The Sports Club was formed in 1955 and looks after the sports field which is situated right beside the village hall as well as the tennis court and the children’s playground behind the pub. In conjunction with the village hall, the sports club is able to offer changing room facilities, toilets, a bar area, an indoor sports hall and a kitchen if foodstuff is required for functions. We have a very active bowls club, a tennis club and badminton is played every Monday evening of non-summer months (see these listed as additional activities). We also host a children’s playground which has recently been refurbished. The sports field is ideal for football, hockey, cricket and most other field sports. Full-size as well as mid-size goal posts are available for use on site.
Find all information and booking details for individual sports on the main page under Activities on Dennington Village Hall website.
Dennington Sport’s Club Annual Report May 2023
Tim Mosse took over the reins from Roy Steward as Chairman at the beginning of 2023. All the individual sporting bodies are all in tact but certainly with differing challenges as modern day wishes change. Our objectives are to keep everything going and where we can build we will look to do so.
We have a long term project which is to modernise the playground from the bottom up so that there is a facility that families will want to use, for as wide an age group of young people as possible, especially as the Village expands. This will take an awful lot of money to be raised and a lot of planning to go with that.
There is to be a Dennington get together on 1st of July 12.00 - 16.00hrs which will be a fun few hours to be had by all in the July sunshine, with a BBQ, Village Hall Bar, and a few activities to be enjoyed; Any help and support from any person and or organisation would be greatly appreciated.
Final event in the calendar is the Jumble sale being set up and organised by Mike Pearce and again please all help and support would be immensely useful.Tennis Club
TENNIS CLUB
The tennis court was first opened by Christine Truman in September 2013, and was repainted in its new blue and green colours in 2021. Membership rates are £40 for a family, £30 for a couple or £15 for an individual. Once you are a member you can book the court online via our interactive booking system at any time; bookings do not need to be confirmed by the website administrator, as only tennis club members will be given the padlock combination number required to access the tennis courts.
Bowls: Membership of the Bowls Club, which plays in three different local leagues, is £40. There are up to three games a week, usually on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays, with transport to the various matches shared.
