Official statement on the Patchway Sports and Social Club

On Monday 1st October 2024, it was verbally confirmed by Patchway Sports Social Club to Patchway Town Council that the insurance of the building has lapsed. 

 

On the afternoon of Monday 1st October 2024, Patchway Town Council issued a letter to Patchway Sports and Social Club to remind them of their obligations under the lease agreement held with the Town Council.  The Club cannot operate legally without insurance.  The safety of all patrons, employees and users is paramount. 

 

Patchway Sports and Social Club confirmed they would close the building with immediate effect due to the severe breach of this lease agreement. This decision wasn’t taken lightly by the Patchway Sports and Social Club.

 

Patchway Town Council have expressed the need to consult all membership of the Patchway Sports and Social Club is of paramount importance and should be done imminently. Patchway Sports and Social Club members will be informed of a ballot process to consider the future of the Patchway Sports and Social Club. 

 

Patchway Town Council remain committed to this community asset and are deeply disappointed at the situation.

 

Patchway Town Council have no responsibility for the running of the Patchway Sports and Social Club and are merely landowners of the site in which the building resides on. Patchway Sports and Social Club are governed by their own constitution, under the control of their membership. 

 

Patchway Town Council would like to state that any threats or violent behaviour from members of the public towards Town Council staff and the staff or existing members of Patchway Sports and Social Club will not be tolerated and will result in police involvement.
