SOCIAL & CLUBHOUSE
The Clubhouse will re-open at Midday on Saturday 4th July. Obviously there are some restrictions, which are basic common sense and something we’ve all been getting used to over the past few months.
Here are a few of the things we have put in place.
MEMBERS ONLY, no guests they can join for £4 until the end of 2020 using this link: Membership Form.
Membership cards must be shown to the bar staff, the number & name will be noted to assist in ‘track & trace’.
Payment by card only, NO CASH.
We will encourage you all to be outside in the car park where there will be some shelter and restricted car parking. Note Cheltenham Borough Council state no drinking outside after 10:30pm.
We will provide hand sanitiser at various places in the club house.
If it gets too busy then we reserve the right to lock the doors and refuse entry to anyone.
Please be extra patient with the bar staff and other members.
All meetings will remain postponed for now.
As the situation is still fluid, we will continue monitoring developments.

Social
The Clubhouse and Bar is open every evening, and all day Saturday. Plus extended opening for selected F1 Grand Prix and some other international sporting fixtures. The main social nights are Friday & Saturday. Many local people have joined the Club as Associate members, they enjoy the range of Real Ales, the atmosphere and the cheaper prices. (Anyone visiting the Club on more than 3 occasions will be asked to join as an Associate member). A regular annual event is our Wheel Ale Festival
Over the last few years we have gained a good reputation for our Real Ales & Ciders. We have received many CAMRA awards. In 2013, 2017 and 2020 we were awarded the prestigious CAMRA National Club of the Year.
We also stock real cider and a range of wines. CAMRA members welcome, local CAMRA groups sometimes have meetings at the Club.
We have our own Darts and Pool teams in the Cheltenham Leagues, plus have our own cycling and walking groups.
Other local groups meet at the Club, Drag Racers, Motorbike Trials, Scramble and Enduro Clubs, local home brewers, plus a couple of cycling groups and The Hash House Harriers. We have a couple of rooms that we can make available for meetings.
The Magic Bus outings visit local pubs and breweries, usually on a Tuesday evening once a month during the summer months. During the winter months we occasionally have longer trips on a Saturday, for example: beer festivals or Black Country pub tours. The trips are very popular. Book early to avoid disappointment.
