having read your review and recommendation of the the wssc in winchester street

i agree with your views - it is a great venue and in my view, somewhat under used, it is a family orientated sports and social club and membership is very reasonable at �7 per year. the bar prices are cheaper than a pub so you make your membership fee back in no time

there are two bars one of which is a family bar - it is great place to take your kids if you want an evening out

there are events from time to time for the children - panto at xmas, childrens entertainers and disco's etc

i use the family side on sunday afternoons, because being a football fan, i watch the match on the big screen - i take my son there - he is able to safely play in the family side with other children of his age whilst the adults watch the football

the wssc even provide a box of cars and toys - by the way my son is just over 4 years old

well worth a visit as an alternative for families

only downside is that the family bar could do with a refresh on the decoration side (that is purely my view)

note also that as a member you can hire the family side at very reasonable rates

cheers

I do agree with Andrew's comments about the decor in the Longmeadow back bar. One can see the building blocks so it does make it feel a bit like a warehouse.
We had a post Saturn viewing event there and it was super.
As a Landscape Architect I find the reception path from the sports pitches very off putting.So as you enter or leave you are put off coming the next time.
Whitchurch is beginning to buzz a bit more in all sorts of areas, Baptist Hall; Gill Nethercott and Testbourne Theatre but Longmeadow has more parking than all put together a major assett.The management have alwys been very supportive in a synergistic way to the needs of the Millennium Green, we have nowhere for people to park.

Yeh its a great venue, needs updating but I doubt if the money is there.
