A reminder that our lovely sports and societies are now returning post lockdown, and we are so excited to welcome all these members back through our doors! If you are interested in finding out more or getting involved in Badminton, Squash or Drama then please get in touch or visit our website. We also have more and more groups joining us here which is great to bring even more of our community into the Milestone centre, and we now have everything from Brownies to Trampoline fitness under our roof!
General note to all members
Please ensure that all members bring your cards with you. You will not be able to gain access to any of the buildings without them, and you will not be able to access any of our member discounted prices either. If you need to renew your membership, please visit cpva.org.uk/members
If you have a friend or family member who you think would like to join, please bring them along for a visit and then direct them to Join – Caversham Park Village Association (cpva.org.uk). At just £23 for an annual adult membership, we are quite frankly a great bargain! 🙂
As always, we welcome any feedback that you may have on the association or the social club, and you’re always welcome to get in touch with any suggestions that you may have for going forwards.
We all hope very much to see lots of familiar faces (and some new ones too!) over the summer.
Take care,
All of the team @ the Milestone
Monday is here again!
Now that restrictions have lifted, have you been thinking about trying a new hobby?
Maybe you want to dust off that squash or badminton racquet? Or get some holiday feeling with a few games of table tennis?
Do you want to jump the calories off with Bounce Caversham or learn “comment parler francais” ready for a holiday next year? We’ve got all this, and more! Please visit our ‘join’ page to sign up!
We are a charity that receives no council or government funding and have been serving our community of Caversham Park (and beyond!) for 55 years and counting 🥰
We are delighted to now be able to reopen some areas of the association in line with lockdown regulations, it’ll be a gradual reopening and return to normal service, so please do bear with us while we work out how to do this whilst keeping both our customers and our staff safe.
Reopening in April
Squash
Our Squash courts are now bookable on the following link – Squash Booking System– from the 12th April onwards, but strictly for solo play, games between same household members and bubbles. We expect Squash England will provide further advice as lockdown restrictions ease, and we look forward to a possible return to more normal play from May onwards.
Badminton
Similar to above, we can now accept bookings for badminton games between households and bubbles. We can also accommodate youth badminton in group sessions if there is interest – please do let us know if this is the case. We will keep you updated on when we can return to normal play.
Social Club
The Social Club will be reopening from 15th April with outdoor patio service only, until we hope to resume indoor service in May. We will be serving a patio menu, with Caribbean specials on the weekend and our usual fantastic drinks deals. Please adhere to the guidance regarding social distancing, and remember the rule of 6 (or 2 households of any size) at one table. We will also be looking to open earlier in the afternoon to allow you the opportunity to enjoy the patio area with a drink or a snack when the weather is good.
As I’m sure you are aware, a number of new restrictions have now been announced by the government regarding controlling the spread of COVID-19.
Here at the Milestone Centre, we want to make sure we keep all of our members and staff safe and healthy in these times. Therefore we will of course be implementing, from Thursday 24th of September, the following rules ;
Social club
Recreation and Sports
For your information in accordance with these new regulations, our staff will now also be required to wear face mask inside(unless as above regarding medical exemption). In addition, you will see new signage throughout the building explaining these rules. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with this.
Our current COVID-19 rules will still apply ;
As a charity we must ensure compliance with these regulations, as our licensing and livelihood of the centre depends on it. These are incredibly difficult times for any business and we would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation with these guidelines which will hopefully ensure we all stay safe and well to enjoy all that the Milestone Centre has to offer for many years to come.
If you have any questions or comments then please do of course get in touch – we welcome your contributions and suggestions.
We hope to see you soon!
Happy hour is back to all you lovely members Thursday and Fridays 4pm – 6pm on all draft – beer real ale and ciders. (please note it is not bottles)
We have some fantastic drink offers including, offers on beer, Rum and coke for £3.50, two cocktails for the price of £10 and lots of deals on shots.
