We’re also announcing some staffing changes and have published our membership rates for the 2026/2027 season HERE
The sports season is heating up with sign-ups now open for the Colchester & District League. If you’re looking for something a bit different, don’t miss our first-ever Footy Tennis tournament! Registration for our Croquet Club Championships is also now open, so be sure to secure your spot.
If you are looking to stay in peak condition, we are also hosting a fascinating Sports Rehab and Wellness Talk at the end of the month to help you with your performance and recovery.
Away from the sports, our quiz nights are becoming increasingly popular—so why not gather a team and test your general knowledge?
And finally, don’t forget to mark your calendars for our Summer Open Day on Saturday 16th May!

Staffing changes
Last week we said goodbye to Jessica, who has been our Events Manager for the past year. She’s helped to evolve our events at the club and always tried to bring you something different! We wish her all the best on her next adventure.
We are delighted that Rebecca will become our Events and Marketing Manager. Many of you will remember Rebecca leading our Events in 2022/23 and we hope she’ll bring her many years of experience to keep evolving the events and marketing at the club.
Maria, who has been doing a brillant job behind the bar, has also been promoted to Assistant Bar Manager and Event Co-ordinator. She’ll be continuing her fabulous work behind the bar and assisting Rebecca in the running of all our events.
This week we also welcomed Dawn, our new Finance Manager. Dawn comes with a wealth of compliance and finance knowledge and we’re excited to have her on board.
