Story
In 1921, the Bowls Club was established in the centre of the Village creating a social and sporting activity for early residents. More recent sports club additions are the 9 hole Golf Club (currently out of operation), and the Putting Club within the Village grounds.
Whilst the Trust recognises the importance to the community of these clubs, and the wellbeing of the residents who participate in the sports clubs, the charity cannot continue to fund these worthwhile but costly activities from the Charity's reserves.
We therefore seek external funding from charitable giving, grants and trusts to enable necessary maintenance work and ongoing provision of the facilities.
In the words of a former resident captain of the Whiteley Village Golf Club:
Over the years, we have had great times, competitions, matches, barbecues etc. This is a facility that must be kept going.
