The Club

Spelthorne Sports Club is located on the A308, Staines Road West between Sunbury Cross and Staines. The club was founded in 1922.
Historical archives show that " Some 63 acres of land between Charlton and Ashford Common were allotted at the inclosure to provide money for the buying of fuel for the poor. This land was later known as the Fuel estate or Parish farm. Between about 1895 and 1926 the land was sold at various times and the proceeds were invested in stock, of which the income was £115 in 1950 "

As Spelthorne Sports purchased around 11 acres at this time, our initial outlay for the land was around £20, IF development was allowed on this land today it would be valued at around £4,600,000 (shrewd men our original members !)
In the early years the club was little more than a converted air raid shelter surrounded by a large amount of London's western air defenses, the foundations of which are still within the grounds to this day.

Things are somewhat calmer and much improved at the club today and the "tin shack" has been replaced with a purpose built club which houses a saloon bar that holds around 100 and functions hall with sprung dance floor that holds around 200 people.

Within the club house you will find 3 match play dart boards, pool tables, gaming machines 3 changing and shower rooms for our sportsmen / women and the all important subsidized bar, but above all a friendly atmosphere.
