BURY ST EDMUNDS | Sports & Recreation
To provide recreational and social facilities for the parish of Walsham le Willows and surrounding smaller villages. Team sports such as football, cricket, bowls, darts and snooker are played together with tennis and table tennis. The youth section offers both football and cricket team games from the age of 8 and upwards together with skills development throughout winter and summer. Events happen throughout the year both for the purpose of raising funds but also to bring the community together.
Why the community needs usBy creating a wide range of team sports available to young people, we provide an outlet for them outside school time which parents can support. Rural locations, like our village, lack transport options in the evenings so supervised sports on the doorstep plays a major role in a minimising vandalism and unruly behavior. Communal activities that we offer bring families together and creates friends.
Our impact on the communityAs a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) we have benefited from central and local funding support which has enabled us to substantially increase the opportunity for a wider age range of children to play sport. As a CASC, any profit we make is always re-invested in updating facilities and broadening the range we can offer. It is an ambition to provide more sporting opportunities for ladies and to encourage increased exercise for older members.
